AWR Oil Pan help

[mspeedP5]

Anyone have pics of the oil pickup adaptor for the AWR pan? I've got to get one fabbed and I need to see what exactly it looks like.

Also wondering if anyone has the exact sizes required for the bolts for the AWR pan since the flange on it is much thicker than the OEM.

Pull one of your bolts off the stock pan. Shoot to a hardware store and get the same exact bolt but maybe a little less than a quarter inch longer. I myself used mostly OEM bolts the short period I had it on even though I wouldn't recommend that.

Snap some pics of your fabbed up spacer. I won't be able to tell if it was a perfect fit. you'll have to pull your pan and match it up to the stock pick-up tube flange. Good luck with the install and if you have any questions I can always PM you my cell to give you some "customer support" LOL.

I'd get 25mm and 55mm bolts to replace those.

Do you have a oil pick up gasket? Just get one of those made, but make it about 5mm thick.

So what you're saying is there is a gasket on the OEM pick-up and all it really needs is a gasket replacement that is approx. 5mm thick?

Okay I think I've got it figured out. I need a spacer (or a 5mm thick gasket) for the strainer neck (1) and the same for the bracket (2) shown here:

Yep, I was using the gasket reference as to the shape. The bracket, #2, just get a longer bolt and put some washers in between it.

Have you tried asking AWR for some new hardware? I'm sure they'd send it out.

I emailed Tony asking about it and he said he would check. I followed up several times with emails and had no response so I'm going at it myself.

Try calling him, I had much better luck getting a hold of him that way.
