As you work your way through the manual you will find that it gets less and
less detailed, because it is assumed that having been told once, we can now
work out for ourselves what would be good practice.
The "mudguard" will have to cope not just with mud, but also with stones and
other debris thrown up by the main wheel. Adding a ply of "bid" will protect
it.

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
