You must know some on this forum do not advocate for this mod but I do run it. You must make your own decision.

It does fine in the rain. I spaced mine because I sprayed a blanket on it. And yes it helps a lot with the heat.

I would not use washers. Get a solid piece of metal and use grade 8 bolts. A 1/2" will work fine. I bought mine but I cannot remember from where.

i used washers and have had no issues at all... and i stand on my hood..
i just put washers on the back bolt. i think i used 4 to 5 washers. i also used the factory bolts.. every one will do it a different way you just gotta try it and see what fits you best
