76 Pinto over winter V

Next up I wanted a deeper transmission pan with a drain plug, however they are all too expensive and I got plenty of time, so I rehabbed the pan, added a drain plug, and made a spacer to drop it down an inch. I gained a quart of fluid capacity and used a factory Bronco deep pan filter.

The tabs with the grommets are part of my line routing of the fuel, and trans cooling lines up the middle of the car away from the headers, but still well above the scrub line.

A few pieces of split hose at the rub points protects the stainless braided hose and also keeps the same from sawing a notch in the cross member.
