Two pieces of sheet metal maybe 2" in height tack welded to the side of the pan (one each side) and long enough to get close to the sump. You want to keep the sheet metal off the bottom of the pan about 1/4" or so.

I looked back at on old post and found a posted copy out of a manual of the exploded view of the pan and tray from a past post....I will most likely fab one up out of card board first before I start cutting sheet metal and welding!!! Thanks.

Good thinking indeed.
