Re: sorry Ed, but....

Ed, sorry for the delay, what we do is drill an oversized hole to accomidate the insert,remember to drill1/4 in. past the actual depth, clear the hole with compressed air, thread the hold down bolt into insert, inject epoxy into hole then insert female insert with bolt attached,let dry remove bolt until its needed.
if you google SIMPSON -STRONG-TIE , at main page , search - Set -Epoxy-tie adhesive. you'll get it. this stuff is the ticket.
