Add bulkhead in nose gear wheel pant?

[bruceh]

The main gear wheel pants have a fiberglass bulkhead in the rear section like this.

The nose gear wheel pant does not have the bulkhead.

Should I add a bulkhead on the nose gear to keep all of the potential crud out of the end? Seems like it would be easy to glass in a barrier here.

If you fly it correctly, the nose wheel will only be on the ground during low speed operation, so it shouldn't accumulate much mud...

The bulkheads on the larger cross section main wheel fairings are mostly for structural stiffness , not preventing mud accumulation.
Nothing wrong with adding one except for more time, more cost and more weight. If you do add one, make sure to include a vent hole to prevent blowing it up at altitude.

No

I added bulkheads in front and in back of all three wheels as a possible speed mod. They slowed the plane down so of course I removed them and the speed came back.
