Custom Panel Question..

[huzilulu]

I am considering putting a custom panel on the radiator area bulkhead - between the radiator and mastercylinder area to prevent air from heating up the cylinders/footwell.. also the panel will force most of the air out from the clam mesh opening.

I have seen some builds with this panel, but those were mostly added later on and so fitted with a few rivnuts, there by allowing removal without having to remove the radiator.

My question is - is there ever a need to remove this panel? Since I have just started the build and am doing the paneling now, I am thinking to just rivet the entire panel like all the others - can anyone think of a reason not to?

Thanks

If you keep it removable, how do you avoid vibrations/noise since the panel is not sealed all around with black goo?
