This may not help in all cases, but I formed an aluminum plate/strip to fit around the diaper next to the flywheel. I glued the plate/strip to the inside of the diaper. This holds the fabric away from the flywheel bolts. So far this has worked. | |||

Sounds like a good idea for cars w/out a motor plate, I made a piece of AL that bolts to the motor plate with 2- 1/4" bolts to provide a shield, works great! | |||

I should have said torque converter bolts not flywheel bolts. The converter bolts are what frays the diaper fabric. | |||

nothing, my DRE one got chewed up as well. Dragster with midplate the flexplate just gets into the bottom lip on the back no matter if you have a strap or not. But his diaper fit the best and I liked it's attachment points much better. Mike Greene  | |||

RCI SFI approved universal fit diaper Rear has gotten nicked but is fine. Straps bolt to headers Drop one side, change oil/filter I added a bungee cord to keep it higher up in middle and front Moroso 21047 Pan Only pain is getting straps/tabs fed up to mounting points. I use a piece of wire or a wire tie to fish the straps up thru the tight spots | |||

I use a mid engine plate similar to the S&W in the link below and my DRE diaper tucks up nicely between the bottom of the plate and the oil pan. This has been kept the diaper out of the way of the flexplate. https://swracecars.com/product...-sw-4-link-dragster/ | |||

Hopefully new owners of DRE will continue to make a diaper for a chevy 2 with stock motor mounts. No one else seems to mess with them. | |||

I was looking for engine diapers & did a search here & the internet. Don't know if this has been posted or who owns the business now. They have DRE on the home page. https://www.enginediapers.com 1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||

I used the 4 big zip ties to hold mine away from the flexplate (one on each side of the sump.) Now the diaper fits snug to my Moroso oil pan and behind the starter. Cut one zip tie to remove diaper for oil changes(plus the rest of the attachments.) What I don't like about my universal diaper is the front. It has caught the wind and rolled down on me before. It would be nice if it fit around the balancer (with Velcro to close it) and attached to the water pump. 72 Nova "Hooptie" | |||

If you are in need of a diaper why not keep it semi local.. https://russlerii.com/ he is in Bullhead and does a great job.. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." Marcus Tullius Cicero | |||

[/QUOTE] the new owner listened... [/QUOTE] Wow, that has to be the nicest fitting diaper I've ever seen. The only advantage to the sloppy fitting ones is that I pull mine over the oil filter as well. I have to drop the diaper to change the oil anyway and I figure it's a little added protection if a filter fails. Billy Duhs - BD104X@gmail.com | |||

my 2 previous DRE diapers for the same pan never fit snug like the photos above and it's attempt to capture the oil filter failed miserably, both issues resulted in the top of the rear panel fraying as I've shown in a previous photo. For $600 I expected a better fit better the first time and was reassured of it the 2nd time which was no better. | |||

Even if the diaper partially covers the oil filter like my old DRE did, if the oil filter seal blows it isn't going to catch the oil anyways | |||

I am not saying a diaper will protect you and keep every drop of oil off the track but it certainly does help. Most all of the tracks I know of around here now have a diaper rule and are enforcing it. I am all for that, something that effective, low cost and simple to install not reason not to. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||

DRE made a custom diaper for my rear sump Moroso gen3 hemi pan that goes in my Gbody Cutlass. It fits like a glove, good thing because the steering is close to the pan. I did send them the pan so it would fit perfectly. 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||
