Anyone have a severely dented or otherwise trashed BBC oil pan? I need JUST the small part that is spot welded on the side for an oil dipstick tube. Would gladly pay you to cut that piece out and send it to me. Have tried to find one locally with no luck.

PM if you can help.

Never mind. Went ahead and used the Moroso universal dipstick. Didn't have any brazing rod handy over the weekend, so I gas welded it in place.

Lynn, if you change your mind I have a rusty BBC pan I could send you.

Thanks. Another member offered to cut that part off a destroyed BBC pan. I had already welded this set up together.
Seeing that I welded this, I did warp the crap out of it. Think I got it straight enough to seal. Already installed the pan. If I have FUBAR'd it, I do have another pan, and may take one of you guys up on the offer. This engine is going in my 49 Studebaker farm truck, and it would be relatively easy to pull the pan if I need to. Hoping it doesn't leak. It is a 1972 block with LH dipstick provision, but the LH exhaust manifold I am using interferes with the LH dipstick, so I threaded and plugged the hole.

Need to pick up some brazing rod and flux just in case I need to do some lower temp metal repair.
