Just a question for you. Are the round tubes that are going up welded to the plate on the bottom or are they spacers. Good job, nothing like saving $$$$.

where did you find the link rod ends so cheap? Best price I got was $16.50 each...

How does it feel after the install compared to before?

Thanks for all the great comments guys! Just to answer a few questions:

They are just spacers to hold the oil pan on and hold the plate away from the pan at the same time.

I get them local for around $8 each. Took me about half a tank of gas to find some that were thin enough. Auto parts stores are really thick!

Like the idea! I'll see what the added cost is. Thanks.
