looks like you can change the oil poss with this still on??

[stevotheevo]

looking at the design, i think i might have a go making one myself, cant be that hard.

[BigBavarian]

it doesn't at all a few length of steel and a couple of braces hardest bit is mounting and that only require a drill!

Unless you want one 4 or 5 times the weight you wont be able to make one as strong as that. Look at the pressings, thats what makes it so strong

its never going to be a race car so the weight is not an issue, sump protection however, is.
plus i do enjoy little projects like this, so will have a go.
