Bryan, I had finished that part of my 235 (with a permanently bonded header)
before Don Goetz had the brilliant idea of making it removeable. I've cussed
myself many times over the years for not seeing the value of that mod at the
time - when it would have been doable - not easy, but doable. Getting at
some of the things in the footwells and forward of the panel is difficult at
best and a nightmare at the worst.

Before installing the panel and all the stuff behind it, it's not all that
obvious how inaccessible some things will become. Don't let that empty space
lull you into making what certainly is a big mistake.

Do whatever you need to do to make your header removeable - you'll never
regret the time spent!!!
