A friend and local rigger rebuilt his Volvo diesel a few years ago here in Santa Barbara. I've sent him the long-shot question about an oil pan for your diesel and will advise asap if I hear anything useful.

An alternate idea, if you don't find a replacment, is to get a cast Al pan made using the old one to make a mold. 'Classic' and custom car owners often have to do this. A quick search in So Cal yielded this, for example: http://www.fontanafoundry.com/Products+and+Applications/default.aspx

Many thanks. Might work for me, but time is a problem, I suspect.

I've had one response in SB (received today, Sun):

"I will make a point to call a couple of our distributors tomorrow and see if there is one of those out there. We don't have any around the shop I had a look. I will shoot a email with any information.
