Larry,
That makes total sense, seeing that I put a really nice thick coat of
eastwood's chassie
black on the rack assembly, and also used the 'orginal gaskets on the mounting
clamps,
In fact, I can't think of any place that there is a 'direct' metal to metal
contact
between the rack and the body.
Thanks for the tip.
Regards - Bryan
