Step 11Hockey Pucks?
Yes, Hockey pucks...Nature's rubber bumper fruit. You can pick up a few of these in the frozen section of your local sporting goods produce store.
You will need two pucks for this recipe.
(Select ripe ones. They should be round, flat and the most common varieties are shiny black in color.)
Seriously, high density rubber hockey pucks are great in applications were you need to carry a structural load but need to provide a friendlier surface to prevent damage. They match perfectly the diameter of a 1/2" pipe flange but can be cut to size for other isolating needs.
In this case they are protecting the paint on my truck.
1. Use a saw to cut a notch in the puck. The notch matches the profile of the lip of the bed and holds the upper beam in place up and down.
2. Stainless steel wood screws, driven into pilot holes in the puck, hold it to the 1/2" galvanized pipe flange.
Make sure the screws are short enough and positioned so they do not stick out into the notched area. Remember the goal is to not scratch the paint!
