'Pants' is the term of art for a full teardrop aero-body enclosing fixed landing gear.

I have a set of fiberglass fender skirts for my car, but they don't fit because the center clamp (of three) interferes with the axle's end. My current plan is to replace with a Dzus fastener-type camlock made with latches from old VW bus gas flap doors. Then I can use the OG square-drive church key and have that little flap that covers the hole. Something for next swap-meet season.
