Europa-List: monowheel centre console bulkhead

I've just cut out the monowheel centre console bulkhead shape from 3mm ply.

[Incidentally I wish I'd left the flap lever cutout intact until 
later - the flange layup would be much easier with that present.]

{And another thing - I wanted to print a spare copy of the template 
so as to leave my build manual intact, but I can't find that page 
(11-7) in any of the PDF copies. Eventually I scanned it and printed 
a sacrificial copy from that - but does anyone know where the 
template might be found in the PDF manuals?}

Anyway (before this gets too much like a Ronnie Corbet big chair 
joke), what I really wanted to ask is about the installation of the 
bulkhead, which acts as a "mudguard". I am looking at the 
installation instructions and I can't see any reference to coating 
the ply with resin, nor putting a layer of BID on the "outside" of it 
(as is done with the inboard thigh support ribs which also face the 
outside world).

Anyone see any reason why I shouldn't put a layer of BID on the 
"weather" side of that bulkhead? I certainly don't want to leave a 
raw piece of ply open to everything the wheel will throw up.

regards

Rowland
