I am concerned about the heat in the tunnel. Any thoughts would really be appreciated.

I have a VP/X, but I would put it behind the panel if I were to install one.

Just hang on ti it, keep a forklift in the hanger, and you can lift it up enough to keep two planes in there!

Center front was 24" 8" c chan. 1" pipe weld on each rear skid for handles and also round support for straps to pull down on landing gear. Flat bar welded for and aft of each tire to gain extra wedge for tires to ride in. > When I get it back from paint shop I can send you better pictures and dimensions. It took about a hour to weld up and about $300 of metal but I was not going to chance rolling all that work up a ramp and end up upside down during unload at paint shop. This was quick and secure and can be used by others once we are done with it. > > Hope this helps and let me know what else you need.

I second installing it there. When the plane is fully assembled you will have better access as well. The tunnel cover takes some time to remove and replace.
