Hymee...help: another grille please

Yesterday on a local dirt road I knocked off the oil level sender. Believe it or not this delicate little item is located on the side of the sump pan, opposite the drain plug - just about the lowest point of the motor! (Proof positive that Mazda did not design the 8 with rallying in mind.)

About 2 litres of oil drained out thru the cracked plastic fitting overnight.

Hymee, this should test your grilling skills.

By the way, all, I reckon that Hymee's exhaust is maturing with age, and as it approaches adolescence after about 3000 km is adopting a deeper, throatier note, becoming a baritone. I am liking it more and more.

Thanks Jax,

After lovely comments like that, I'm sure yours will have to be a freebie

But I will make it out of 3mm polished ally.

Cheers,
Hymee
