I have a new 9' dually reading utility body and I need to do 2 things. I want to mount my miller trailblazer above the axle on the driver side and fabricate and mount a stainless metal rack above the passenger side. I currently have this same set-up on my current truck. The rack is only above the utility boxes on passenger side and is about 16' in total length. It is designed to hold a couple pieces of material, max 2 pc of 3x3x3/16 tube. I was going to design it to custom bend brackets so I mount the rack on the vertical part of the box and have all the weight still on top of the box. This way allows me to have a vertical penetration. Problem is... I can't do that to the welder.
So my questions is.... What material would work best as a sealing agent. Currently I have used silicone, but have to remove and reapply. I also will have a sheet of 3/16" alum diamond plate on the top and inside of the boxes. So I will need to silicone between the box and ALDP, and then use what between ALDP and welder/racks.
I am thinking getting some silicone gasket material and cut it to exact size, maybe a little bigger and caulk around so redoing it is simple and provides a double protection????? Does anyone know a better sealing material?
