Wow, thanks a lot, these instructions are really nice! As well as your personal input.
I can see it is not a hard job but I am always interested to hear from people who have done it before, it is no use reinventing the wheel at each project!
Seal/gasket seem indeed a good idea, to prevent metal-on-metal scrubbing and maybe also rain running down between the 2 pieces, but what could I use as a gasket? Maybe sticky foam for house windows would not soak in the water and survive the weather? Is this the kind you have used?
Sealant seems indeed very messing to use there, working overhead...
