Here is how I made my template,
-put a thin layer of paint on the top rim of the pan
-flip it over onto cardboard
-trim the cardbooard into shape
-test fit and trim some more
-then trace it onto an aluminium sheet

It's not that hard once you start doing it.

PS: if i have to do it all over again and have a bit more time, I will incorporate some trap doors on the pan around the oil pick up.

I just recently read somewhere that a guy blew his motor up due to oil starvation because a baffle from his oil pan broke off and blocked the pickup. It was in the UTH forum and I don't remember if he mentioned the manufacturer or not.

That was a ghetto pan though. The TODA is very clean.

About 2mm. Shouldn't be too thick but thick enough to weld.

Notice mine is set at an angle in the sump. The engine is on an angle so my baffle is effectively level. The Toda one is similar.
