Center tunnel closeout panels

Posted On December 17, 2025

(Dec 13, 2025) Winter is back in New England, and these cold days long nights are slowing me down again. But I’m trying to push ahead to get my project flying!

I’m installing the closeout panels for a center tunnel. I had to modify the lower one with a small round cutout to accommodate the SCAT tubing that runs just below the main wing spar carrythru; this tubing is for heating the rear seats. The SCAT tubing is visible in the last photo below.  After fit checks with a cardboard template, I cut the panel then glued on the carpet facing with 3M Super 90.

Super 90 sprayed all around the edges
Install check looks good
