[R-390] A question of covers.

[blw]

I think shielding is a good reason. That chassis is on the order of rolling
stock for a reason.

It isn't for structure, like the bottom plate of a SP-600.

It also isn't for being used as a convienent place for beverages
or ashtrays
or tools
or hamburgers/potato chips
