got rid of the rats nest and air pump monday. I am very happy with how well it turned out. only thing that sucked was that the only plate steel we had was 22 gauge for the block off plates so I had to clamp the ACV over top my plate to get it to seal up right. oh well, any one that needs a rats nest with working selonoids or an air pump lemme know.

I've had ok results with 3/16" aluminum sheet before. I also removed the studs and replaced them with some spare oil pan-length bolts. The threaded section was a little longer than typical 1st gen oil pan bolts.
