I'm sure there is some structural property to the tunnel, however the
sides are unsupported/reinforced, with the doubler installed and the
nutplates & screws holding the dimpled cover in place, Im my not so
humble and non-engineered opinion it is as strong or stronger than the
original. I recall a previous post where someone contacted Van's about
the structural properties of the tunnel. IIRC the response was that it
wasn't much.

Does the tunnel have no structural role at all?

Cutting access holes will not make it stronger. And I believe I'd have to show this a major modification from the original plans to the authorities.

Michael,
We also cut an access panel on the PAX side of the tunnel. The
difference is our opening is MUCH larger than most. With my center
console, custom Andar fuel valve cup, throttle quadrant and ~6 push/pull
knobs in an assembly top access will be time consuming.
