I was going to calculate the compressive force by factoring in the angles, and did not want to bother anyone with such intricacies.
But, holy crap, man. That would be awesome.
Edit: I see your ninja edit...
Maybe I'm just not enough of a DIY'er, but I've never really understood the need to cobble together mini-amps and bluetooth dongles and mounting brackets and blanking plates and power sources and all of that.
I spent $55 on one of these Clarion mechless head units and it does exactly what I want -- it pairs with my phone automatically within 5 seconds, has an easy to read display with a big volume **** on the left side, handles hands-free calling, and has USB, aux-in, and SD card ports. And it still gets AM/FM if I run out of digital media to listen to.

The dog is in a shoebox wrapped in plastic bags, and we don't open it.
This past year, it was joined by a guinea pig.
Keeping dead pets in the freezer is becoming a family tradition. Granted, it'll probably be a few years before any more are added (although one of the Boston terriers is borderline suicidal), but the dog has already outlived (outdied?) one freezer.

My sister has informed me that they have just buried both the dog and the guinea pig.
I feel as though a family tradition has been violated.
RIP, Lexi, the bestest little fuzzbutt ever to walk the earth.

I don't care about that as much. I need to know how deep of holes to ream. I'm going to then set the rail in place and do brackets around that. Or a jig based off the stock rail. don't know yet

Serious question for northern folk:
Anypony here ever use one of these new-fangled LiIon portable jumper packs?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IQK6LI0?psc=1
Do they really maintain a useful charge for many months of storage untouched in a freezing cold trunk?
Asking for a friend whose '04 with a six month old East-Penn battery almost didn't start tonight, despite the temperature being well above 0°F. (Yes, he knows to check the alternator output under load. No, he hasn't done it yet because he can't find his damn Fluke 77 at the moment.)

I guess you are welding the tabs on, that makes sense. Id bet the limitation will be in the extrusion and not the top hat. You could also chamfer it substantially to let the curve drop in a little more.
