This inspection plate is something we came up with the Top Stock cars running IHRA about 3 years ago!

Thanks for that input. Maybe that's (Topstock) where I heard it referenced. Didn't really want to hack up a pan. Just out of curiosity, how did you seal those pans? I just see this as a leak waiting to happen and at the wrong time.
