However since I have spent hours fitting the tub to the bed panel with no intentions of seam sealing the top side (tub to panel--just paint to paint) I may panel bond a couple of small bolts to the outer panel at the tub top to keep from having a rubbing effect-although when completely bolted down it will be unlikely--Make sense??
If it doesn't work like I think-I can always go back and cut that 4-5* angle into the tub at top and have it butt like stock tubs instead of flushing inside.........jim
