Alright guys looks like im going to make these, the group buy will start this Saturday. As soon as I have payment for 20 people I will run parts, shouldnt take very long, as there seems to be sufficent interest. Ill update the first post with payment instructions tomorrow.
As for welding them in, the stock oil pan is cast aluminum, and not to mention coated with oil. So welding it can be a challenge for the
Diy people. Most shops that have a tig welder should be able to install it though, just make sure your oil pan is cleaned very well before wedling it in.

Any welding shop will be able to TIG weld this baffle into place. Clean it best you can and the shop will know aluminum must be absolutely spotless to weld and they'll know how to prep it.
For you DIY welders you'll need at least a 160 amp (240 volt) TIG welder with a thicker than usual torch tip. You'll have to create a puddle in the oil pan before putting any heat into the thin baffle. Normal old Windex works great as a final prep for aluminum welding. I'm a welder but I let a professional weld my baffle.

I didn't see a GB thread in the Vendors forum. I assume just send $35 via paypal to sales@alloycraft.com?
