      See post number 401. https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/for...cussion/page27

      The bung was turned on a lathe to fit the oil pump and it has like a 7/8" ID or whatever the pickup is, which is just a stock Moroso 2480. The mount just picks up off two windage bolts (rember to get new ones!). I verified the height in the pan before tacking the last side piece in.

        Awesome, thanks.

        Do you mean a 24840? The DIY-ish kit or the 24800 for a chrysler or something else?

              No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

                Any updates on this? It’ll fit an N54, correct?

                  I hope so! I am using a spare N54 block as a welding jig, for alignment of the oil pump pickup etc.

                    I started work on the SendCutSend version of this pan. Ideally, you can have the pre-bent pieces delivered and just weld along the seams. Plus, it will have some improvements over the successful version 1 pan. Slightly more capacity and even better oil control.

                      I've pulled the trigger on ordering bent metal for another pan. If it snaps together into a pan I'll be a little surprised, but CAD doesn't lie, right?

                        Nice work Steve. Looking forward to seeing the final result.

                          My SendCutSend "kit" arrived. I am mostly very pleased, it fits together like it was designed in CAD or something (where CAD doesn't stand for Cardboard Assisted Design....)

                          It looks kinda like the rendering.

                          Except for the fact that some idiot specified the wrong bend angle on one piece it's ready to weld together. All of this was $240

                              The "SendCutSend" pan is coming along nicely... Initial baffle design fits great, I've made some small adjustments to it and re-ordered in 0.030 stainless. My analysis shows that the pickup position will be submerged indefinitely at 1G of left or right turns and can sustain 1.5Gs of braking. The baffles increase those margins for maybe 8 seconds before the oil goes where gravity says it will...
