Does anyone have some examples of the mods they made to the factory 3L pan to facilitate the use of the other two bell housing bolts?

I don't have a pic but this is what I do to retain the use of the 3.0 pan and pickup etc..
Looking at the flywheel..
*Fit the hollow dowels to the block in the correct positions for the trans.
*use the sandwich plate as a guide and fit it to the hollow dowels.
*mark the new hole location of the rear (r/h) hole.
*Note on the front(l/h) hole you need a 3/8 piece of ally welded onto the pan and redrilled for correct location.
*Remove the pan
*Weld on the plate on l/h and drill hole.
*On R/H drill hole and counterbore to take a metric cap hex bolt.
