    Unbolting it for an oil change is a bit of a pain.

    Tho this is a good deal. Im afraid of the raceskids plate not holding up. And the peerless is expensive and has to be welded on. This seems like a good in between. How much would one be shipped to Newport RI?

            I might just be going for one very soon too and be a guinea pig myself. Does it come with hardware and does it install similarly to the raceskids plate?

              Ok guys, I give you little update. I redesigned the plate a little bit so that now it will give you more height adjustment options in rear end also. For that I will supply you with longer and higher grade steering rack bolts and spacers (washers) for adjustment.
              In front end I have made 4 additional oval holes and this will give more options for front end fixation if you have your own ideas. Locking washers will be also supplied for oval holes. If you don`t mind to hassle with welding or have a friend who can do it, then I can give you drawing for my version of fixing bracket. But as mentioned, this bracket has to be welded under the radiator support. Bracket is very simple and is cheaper to make by yourself and that`s why it is not included in shipment.
              I have already ordered material and after receiving it I will proceed with laser cutting and bending. When they are finished, I will put some pictures here and contact everyone who have sent me PM already.

              Price will remain 90.- € (all above mentioned hardware and shipping is included).

              What do you guys think about this new redesigned version?

                So you have 2 versions? Welded and bolt on right?

                If the redesigned version doesnt cause decrease in stress thresholds, than it sounds fine I am sure. I am however wondering if you have a writeup for install. How big for instance, do the holes need to be when drilled into the radiator support (i.e. 5/16" , 3/8", etc)?

                      I'd be interested in a 24v version with a hole cutout for the oil drain plug..

                      I took some engineering classes "back in my day".. It would affect rigidity, but not enough to make much of a difference unless you hit something going sideways around that area..

                      Let us know if a cutout version is something we can hope for in the future ;)

                        Blanks arrived from laser cutting today. Because of peak season it took little longer time as I expected. Bending will be done today and this means that I can start shipping next week ;)

                              Sorry guys, I can`t check as no one from my friends owns one.
                              If someone could give me information about how much lower the oil pan sits and how far is the front end of oil pan compared to M20 engine, then I could look into it and make one.

                                Ok skids are ready for shipping now. I gave them slightly brushed finishing and they look great imo.
