well, the waterjet place wants $1900 for ten of them, so I will wait for Alaska Steel to fix their shear and have the plates Plasma cut.
since we have a bit of time, if we can find another 8 or ten people interested we can buy a whole sheet of steel and bring the material cost per plate down.
call all your friends!

I think we're between $40-$50 plus shipping. We just have to wait for the sheer to be fixed.

yep, $40-50-ish I will have a better idea when the time comes to get them made comes along though.
I may need a deposit as I don't have a huge amount of money to sink into buying the materials at the moment, but I will let you guys know when the final count is made and the last estimate is taken.
that being said, any and all who want one of these and have not yet PM'd me please do so I can keep track of the numbers for estimate purposes.

Im interested but im a little shaky about the making the spacers. Would someone be willing to cut an extra set when they make theirs?

I suppose I could do that and just send them with the girdle.
there might be a difference between the spacer size needed on different blocks due to casting differences, but that could probably be dealt with by a little grinding of spacers and adding a few thin washers if needed.

If you're worried about making the spacers then you'll be pooping your pants drilling and tapping the block
. Just get the machine shop to make the spacers when they drill the block.

I don't really need one yet, but I'll take 1, possibly 2 depending on price. Never know when I'll get around to my next build, and I'd like to have them on hand when I do. I'd like to get the spacers, too, if possible. I know your idea wasn't to get into manufacturing, but I'll pay more for the extra parts.

That thing is like 1/4" thick..
There goes my ground clearance
.
Will it really make a difference with ground clearance? that would be my only concern at this point.

yep, the pan will sit a half inch closer to the ground than it used too, the girdle will act as a spacer between the block and oil pan.

I don't think my build is awesome enough to call for one and i have no way of drilling my block so i'd have to pass on this one
Will be following the progress though! It'll be fun to see everyone's individual pictures of mounting them!

As mentioned before in the thread, I had planned on just getting extended oilpan bolts, and using them to hold it all together. Im not going to be running sick power, but would still like to have the added protection.
