It came with an aluminum billet spacer instead of the brazed metal version with 3 screw tubes. Check Summit for their brand and others. I'm sure the thicker cast aluminum is stiffer than the stamped sheetmetal version also.

Would like to find one with drain coming out the back. Have tried most suppliers and the only one I can find is a fabricated pan which I have but it leaks. Any ideas? Thanks, Rick
