Jerry, Ed, I'll cut two tray's today and

what you see I'll

cut some

from .125 6061 T6.  The test trays will be

out of .080 5053

H38 so

there will be some warpage.  But you can

check the hole

patterns and

size.

Tom,  do  you know if the Renesis pan bolt

pattern is different than

the 13B's?   Jerry

I have heard that the pattern is indeed different.
A simple way to get a 'close' pattern would be to
buy a oil pan gasket for an RX-8 (or get one of the
discarded, defective oil pans).

I'm still deciding between a renesis and PP 13B,
which could use similar mounts.  A different bolt
hole pattern would be required if the oil pan plate
bed mount were used with a renesis.

Have there been a lot of oil leaks using the 1/2"
6061 bed mount plates sandwiched in between the oil
pan?  If so, I'll stay away from this option.

Bernie Kerr's is leaking.
