Thanks! the dog ears have been removed, but i was thinking about putting them back in to secure the side covers. But i actually lost a sidecover once so instead of mounting them so you can pull them off i think i will bolt them to some rubber grommets.
i was thinking something along those lines leon. I was thinking tongue and groove at the front, and then velcro at the back to secure, but i really like the idea of having a latch as well. I just bought one for cheap on ebay. i think ill be able to adapt it, plus it has a cable release so i can hide the release better.
Do you think it is necessary to isolate the tail, sidecovers, or seatpan with rubber?
