[Diy_efi] OT : mounting fastners

[Lee M. Lemoine]

i'm not sure how you wish to attach to this, however, there are masonary
anchors which are threaded and i've used them before on metal, such as
mounting Dock levelers (commercial applications) to buildings.  You can find
those almost anywhere, and they make them up to 3" in diameter.  Basically
its like a wall anchor on steroids.
