Hi Charles,
I have got a cast plate with a downturned 4" hole in the centre, this bolts in where the sump gauze was.
It has a copper gauze held on with a large worm drive clamp.
The gauze has saved my oil system from a few bits debris in the past, the plate also works as surge baffle.
It has been in the engine since the 1990's.
I can not remember where I got from, it might have been Tim Myall.
The plate is supposed the stiffen the crankcase an work as an oil baffle.
The Supersports / Ulster alloy sump will also stiffen the crankcase.
Probably not worthwhile for a road cars, but useful on a competition car.
