My home made oil pan brace

here it goes

drilling the holes was the easiest part. Making it fit was ... complicated

COOL! Now you need to do what Mazda and Garfinkle does... make a groove so it reduces flex.

I love seeing all the things you make yourself for your car - look great! The braces Ive seen have a groove running all the way around the top of the pan brace. You gonna use studs instead of bolts like most vendors use? I need to pick up a oil pan brace for my repu but 125$ is alot right now with other projects going on...

Thanks Ratboy

currency in my country is 3,57 to 1 today... so 125 plus taxes and shipping... is way too much for me.

Making that one probably costed me 10 bucks and some time.

Im gonna use 35mm studs
