[QUOTE=ss3011;498185]Hamburger Pans, and I bet Stef's Pans sells pieces of expanded metal screen so you can make your own windage screen . What was interesting is this expanded metal was directional , and acted like thousands of louvers. If you sprayed water at a piece of it in the "wrong direction" the water would bounce back at you. Spray water in the "correct direction" and 99% of the water would pass right through .[/QUOTE

Water is wrong thing to use when testing oil pans, and windage trays only thing it is good for is testing volume oil clings. In wet sump systems it is VERY HARD to get atray that works better than No tray. Worry about a well fiting scraper and large well baffled box with kick out on passengers side and a good pickup that works and doesn't suck a hole in the oil.To test pick up you must use your actual oil.
