One trick I use on this kind of job is to use a needle pointed scribe or a
scratch awl with a small enough shank to go through the mounting rails. It
needs to be small enough to search for the nutserts or drilled holes in the
ribs. Still almost a 2 person job unless you use a blind dutchman. (job
site fabricated temporary portable scaffolding) Preferable to a whiney
spouse. (Grin)
