I doubt it will need any though. This is my first venture into BB territory so I am a little cautious I guess. Thanks to everyone for their input.

He is living in the STONEage ! .... the tray not having good drainage ? ..... MAYbe if ROCKster is setting the rod-side-clearance with a LAVA ROCK and is winding up with a 50 to 80 spec ...

I swaped it to a rear sump/pick-up tube and re-used the tray.
