My 340LA Windage Tray is corroded.

[SRKlegin]

Good afternoon,
After a lot of work by the machine shop, the 340LA is nearing completion, so I figured I'd clean up the windage tray and am finding quite a bit of corrosion pitting on the tray. I searched Classic Industries and other sources but can't get a new one. If someone has one with minor surface rust I would be happier than what I have currently. The heavy pitting is on the narrow end of the tray. Any sources out there? What if I can't find one to install? What oiling issues will I run into?

Thanks in advance

Post a picture to let us see how bad it is. Any windage tray is better than nothing.

I would call Mancini and see if they have one.

I just received one I ordered from Mancini and found it is a reproduction of the original and overall a pretty nice unit. I would recommend it as an acceptable replacement. Good luck

Thoughts? Maybe blast it or do surface blends?

I have the proper crank cap bolts. The bolts/nuts that thread into the cap bolts were bad...not too sure where they went. Dis-assembled two years ago. My engine tech is looking for a suitable sub. I saw them on Mancini like another member suggested.

I just looked on line. Fitment for tray was good? The hardware kit, good? I have the original cap bolts, so would only need the hardware to install the windage tray, correct?

Just pulled the trigger at Mancini. Tray and hardware on it's way.
