Industrial metals cut all the parts to size
  and Randy Lewis of one rotor Dragon Fly fame
  tig welded it up for me. Randy is a fast learner
  as he has limited experience tig welding.
  He practiced for only one day and then did
  this pan. It holds 8.5 quarts.
  The more oil the longer it takes to overheat it on
  take off :) My 230 HP O-470 has 12 quarts.

  It is not tapered due to improvements in ducting
  for the water rad under the engine. I used
  to bring the cold air in from the bottom of the
  rad. It is better to bring it in on the top
  and let it go out the bottom.

  I'll sell the old one if somebody wants a bargain.
  $100

  Does your oil pan fit on the rx-8 13B??if so i am interested to buy and
  also the sketch for second one

  Jean Prudhomme

  Mine won't fit the RX8 Jean. They have a different bolt pattern.

  Hey Randy, Do you want to make another oil pan for Jean?


  I think I have a stock RX8 oil pan to get the bolt pattern
  from. If not you will need to ship me yours Jean.

  Jean Prudhomme

  Roughly $400. 8 quarts.

  Jean Prudhomme

  Paul Lamar

Thank's Paul
Do you have the drawing for the taper one also.
On this design you didn't provide any reset for the suction do you think
it can be a problem if you have a major oil leak in flight and the pump
can suck some air when oil level is to low


Jean Prudhomme

Reset for the suction. I have not heard of that. Can you explain it
better?

Do you mean a Low oil warning light? If so the stock Mazda unit
will fit. Just a float with a reed switch and magnet.

No dwg on that tapered pan. It was built 10 years ago BR (Before
Rhino) :)
