Dom,
Aye, mate. I've got one that is about 4" x 8" (4" front to back) and
does provide access to the quick drain. Another benefit is access to the
strut Schrader valve without removing the lower cowling. I would have
answered earlier but I couldn't find a decent picture of it here at home.
The opening is visible in this 1996 picture:

Yes- I have a spring loaded quick drain
for the oil, but have to remove the cowls to get at it. Just wanted to see if
anyone had a small access panel immediately below the drain point to save the
cowl removal.
Always interested in time and energy
saving.
