That gentleman was offering to modify oil pans, ie weld baffles in.  I'm
*hoping*, and rumor makes it a tangible hope, that this windage tray
will "work".  All I really have to do is not let the oil go below 1 qt
down to avoid the buzzer anyway (I though Dan retired that buzzer?  Oh,
not that buzzer!).

If it comes in Saturday (it might) it will be at Mt Washington with my
yellow oil pan for us all to look at and ponder.  Otherwise photos on
the web will have to suffice.
