i beams with smartply glued and fixed to the face with every joint glued? then a good foam (illbruck fm330) and seal everywhere (illbruck sp925) just in case?
looks good, should have gone with hooks though, nice and easy to replace any. bend hook, slide slate out slide new slate in on a slate ripper to catch the top of the batten, bend hook back, job done. try that with double nailed slates.
'fraid not, angle grinder, 7mm drill and a long screw at the end cut to shape with some foam and/or stainless mesh to stop anything getting in at the cut.
