Dear Paul
       Before I sent your pan back to you after welding  I checked
the weight and cap. Both pans hold 1gal ( your alum and stock steel
pan) Your alum pan is 1
lbs lighter than a stock steel pan weighting was done at UPS on their
scales.Another advantage of the alum pan is the dissapation of heat
which is better than
the steel pan.. I think the design of using the oil seperator plate
as the mounting plate makes sense and is  easer to fab. Would it hurt
to punch more holes
in the plate to allow the oil to return.

Well maybe but that is hard to research :)

Ed, the hole pattern in the plate is based on the Racing Beat oil/air
sep plate.   It is a little different because two holes were combined
to make a hole large enough for the pick--up tube.   Other holes were
moved slightly because they were near the weld seam.  Jerry
