[QUOTE="basenjib123, post: 482918, member: 30884"] Sandwiching 2 pieces of wood between the aluminum that has rivets and seams results in the wood not sitting flush and allows rocking motion. Would I be ok putting in some nylon spacers where the bolts go to create a small gap thereby creating a space between the wood and the aluminum? Only possible issues that I can think of is this may put more stress on the mounting holes in the aluminum or foregoing the spacers and tightening it down on the uneven surfaces would cause the wood to distort? Perhaps some kind of material sandwiched in there that would conform to the contours and NOT absorb water? I hope this makes sense, Thanks...Joe. [/QUOTE]
