If so , that works better for me . This pan looks like a MAJOR improvement , as I continually have small "weeps" on my Aviaid pan and it`s really starting to bug me . Do the oil scraper "notches " you machined in replace the oil scraper screen the Aviaid unit uses ? Also , how many quarts does it hold .... I must have missed it in the earlier posts you made .
Looks like an early Christmas for my ERA .
I'll try to post pics of the trap doors as soon as we get the first one ready to ship.

We just tested it on track day--no problems. Sandwich drove round and round and round ALL day.

The oil temp an oil drain come off the driver's side. They are recessed in the latest version of the pan. The pan is a major improvement. We are making them as fast as we can. I am quite surprised at how many orders came in.

The notches replace the screen and the windage tray. The pan holds 9 quarts, like the original.
