What I did
I dont have a handy picture, but I made side panels from .020" aluminum that also double as arm rests. Some simple attach angles at the bottom for retainer screws, and I have angles riveted through the skin at the top, which could probably be eliminated if you were installing in a flying aircraft. I have gotten many compliments of the finished look, and no open flap mechanism, ect...send me a PM with E-mail, and I will snap some pics for you.
