I was considering access panels on the sides of the tunnel.
I contacted Van's about the option and they said: "What do you want that for, you can remove the tunnel cover?"
I am planning for a molded dash / console and wanted to be able to service the tunnel without removing seats and other trim.
Are you planning something like this?
Has anyone put access panels on the sides of the tunnel?
I called Van's with concerns about compromise of the structural panels.

I am using the standard setup per Vans Plans. Did they tell you how you can remove the cover with the seats in?

How about cutting the front tunnel into two section right in front of the fuel selector? A slicer plate could then be added across the inside, much like the way the front and back tunnel covers join. This way the front section of the tunnel could be uncovered without removing the section between the seats or the seats. This could be modified as needed if an armrest was planned.

Hey, Scott, I think that panel looks a little sparse. You should think about adding a DVD player or something! My goodness....! Nice.

I am going to cut access holes in the side for sure because of the throttle quadrant. It is ALOT of work to remove that quadrant and it would be so nice to take a plate off to check the fuel filter and have access for anything else.
Abby at Flightline Interiors made the stick covers. I ran my wire on the outside of the stick and this covered it nicely.

Scott,
After seeing your counsel, I’d go with side plates too.
By the way where did you get the carpet set?

Abby at Flightline Interiors did the carpet kit. Tim Olsen has a nice write up on his website about it.
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/interior/20051230/index.html
Her website is:
http://my.execpc.com/~erdmannb/
Out of every single vendor I have had to deal with to build this plane, Abby gets the number 1 spot by far!!! She is accurate, on-time, and fairly priced.
The interior fits great, was easy to install and looks great.
