 Tim, I doubt you will find much on the subject coming out of the States.
 The liability issues are so intense, no one will dare even give a helpful
 tip,
 for fear of the info being misused, and someone getting hurt (and
 subsequently sued). That's the main reason
 that most of us emphatically state: Do what the manufacturer's suggest, and
 don't stray. Also
 many if not most will refer your questions to a licensed professional
 engineer.

 Better safe than sorry.

 Good luck though, and be safe whatever you attempt.

 Happy Building, Geo>KØFF
