Being fixed 2.8 i will guess its the same techniques. but were would you get fittings from. i have spoken to a fitter who explained if the fittings are not specified then he knows how to construct fittings from wires. he went more in dept explaining about drilling and inserting resin to strengthen joints but i just offered him a space on the project. does this sound right to you from your experience. can they be made. how do you go about doing this.

sorry forgot to mention this is internal so therefore no risk of wind just a matter of load bearing
