Absolutely brilliant design! Props to Bob P!!!

I guess it would help if I looked at page 1 before I ask a question, huh?
Thanks - looks like a great idea.
Just thinking out loud here - what if instead of the springs on the outside, you made the stationary plate extend almost out to the bottom edges of the removable turkey pan, then put a Dzus fastener in each corner of the inside of the pan? You wouldn't see the fasteners unless you looked right down into the pan, wouldn't have the springs showing, and it would be easy on and off. Am I all wet here?

Sounds like a plan to me. I had forwarded to Bob some pictures of a removable pan that I had found over on the CSX forum that was kind of like that, but used plain old screws. Bob went in his own direction. My only instructions to him where to fabricate the pan as if he was making it for his own personal car. Other than that, I just let him run with it....

There's not a whole lot of clearance inside the pan. Here's a shot looking down, sans air cleaner, to help you decide.
