    A boxed rail is the strongest way to do it. I would put it out on the edge of the existing flange, then cap the ends in a angled fashion from the outside to the inside.... to lessen the tendency of the non-reinforced section to crack under stress... No Idea how to draw it, hopefull you understand, Denny
