That's where the weather stripping came into play. ive lined the entire
piece so no matter where it touches, its completely insulated. I even
routed the hoses thru the piece and its got its own weather stripping
piece covering all the lines and hoses. I should take a picture of the
thing in place. It doesn't look like much but it is extremely durable and
functional.
