Kevlar dj safety diaper with Kevlar straps. mrhockey is a dealer for them on here.

 

Thank you sir. I also deal with Pro1 Safety and RJS who provide a more universal style than DJ and they are readily available. Let me know if I can help. Email is best because notifications on here don't always reach me. Check out my website for a full line up of safety gear.

 

I've got a DRE, been on for a few years. My headers fit so close on the drivers side I have to pry to slip the diaper through. It has Kevlar panels so it doesn't burn, just turns brown.

 

I have a DRE semi-custom for BBC also in a 2nd Gen Camaro (1970) with stock front suspension ,no motor plate .It fits ok , I had them put Kevlar straps on it where they pass under the headers to tie the front of diaper to the rear around the motor mounts after the nylon ones burnt in half. When it was at DRE for the strap "upgrade" I had them make a bit more room around the oil filter . To tell the truth , I am not impressed with it for the almost $500 it cost me.

 

OK, thanks for the info. I'll get a quote from them but I'll certainly look at DJ Safety and some others as well. Not happy with the universal fit for $150 or so. Definitely don't want to be pissed off at spending $500 and still not like it.

 

I have DRE and am very happy with it

 

I have installed a few DRE diapers on cars in my shop and have been very happy with them, that is also what is going on my dry sump combo now

 

I've had the same universal fit DRE for years. When it was wet sumped I broke a piece of sheet aluminum in the shape of C Channel . I stuck that on the pan to take up the slack, sounds goofy but it worked. I have the same diaper on my dry sump deal now. It's a PITA to get on but its on there. I called DRE early this year about a custom one and Dennis said it would be too far out on it. If you need a custom one order it now.

 

DRE 350 ish

 

This is my second DRE diaper. Love it. No issues and fit for my stock type motor mounts.

 

summit......worked just fine last weekend. Will have a new motor at the beginning of next season.

 

Ouch

 

DRE!!

 

I use DRE on mine. Have a little slack around where my turbo drain fitting is. Which I figured since I didn't have Dennis make it a custom fit deal. But I'm very happy with it.

X2. I’ve got one of Russ’s diapers in kevlar. Lightweight, fits like a glove to my Moroso oil pan 20206. Uses quick release buckles for the straps, so oil changes are easy. Great guy to deal with. $188. He’s a racer too.
DRE is way overpriced in my opinion.

 

I talked to Dennis at DRE today. One with a flat bottom is $400 with Kevlar. A stepped one for the oil pan is $550. I have the the flat bottom shipping this week to me. He said to test fit it and make sure I am happy with it or give him a call back.

 

^ Get the Kevlar straps that go past the motor mounts cause the nylon ones will burn if you have inside frame headers.

 

I checked with Dennis on the straps. Don't need the Kevlar ones. They mount to the accessory holes in the heads in front and back. The don't come close to the headers. That is the same way my current diaper mounted. They never got any type of burns on them at all.

 

^ Ok... report back

 

DRE ships fast. I got it today. I know which straps you are talking about now. Those are not Kevlar. I can't test fit it because I dropped the motor off yesterday to be gone through. Having said that, I don't think that strap will be close to the header tubes as it will sit below the header flange. I have Hedman part# 65105 headers and they don't hug the block there are at all. What headers do you have?

 

I have the Pro1 and it fits my dragster pan very good.

 

quick heads up......when you mock it up, the diaper is supposed to go behind the starter( between the block and starter). To do this it is best to put diaper on first, then put the starter on when its on the stand then put the motor in the car. Worked best for me anyway,your results may very. After you change the oil you have to deal with the diaper behind the starter issue anyway. Maybe you knew that anyway , no offence meant.

 

Can you just take the back loose to change oil? I've got a used one, not sure of brand. Friend had it on his car and sold his car so i got it reasonable. He had the same headers as my car so I'm sure it fits.

 

I can pull the 2 rear straps and drop it down and around the pan and filter. It adds a little work to an oil change.

what Eman said.

I have a DRE on my race car, got it a few years ago when Dennis was running a deal on Bracket Talk. Got it in Kevlar, I am pretty sure it was around $250. I drop my right rear strap off the back of the head to get the diaper away from the oil filter and drain plug, SBC in a 1988 F-Body. I have Moroso solid motor mounts which act as the lateral limiters for my motor plate. One header tube touches the diaper but has only turned it brown after all these years. Bought another one for my other car but have not put that car back together yet.

 

Universal DRE on BBC works great. Rear of the DRE can get hit by flex-plate but a piece of aluminum mounted to the steel mid plate fixed that

 

Depends! get it!!!

 

I went with a containment pan instead of the diaper, ran it all the way to the transmission pan,
