Do you glue the plywood to the pants or just leave it as is for support for the blind nuts? Have to check to see if I can drill a hole below the landing gear axle as I don't know how close the hole is to the bottom edge.

The current setup has a "wheel collar" type of fitting that goes over the axle and has 2 places on either side of it to screw into from the outside of the wheel pant. The screws are small and the pants are thin so they are already cracking and flopping around a bit.
