Work. and group: Some of these rails we are talking about mounting have
holes drilled for #10, #8, and even #6 caps-screws. I have never seen those
"white metal masonry-inserts" smaller than for perhaps #10 lag-bolts, not
exactly precision fasteners! Thus, the epoxy to set-in pre-threaded inserts
with no force on the granite which, yes, WOULD bust, if those awful
toilet-fastener things were used, particlarly several in rows, as would be
the case in this proposed application!

something!)
