The Ford Barn

I removed the oil pan from my 29 roadster to clean it and put on new gasket. When I removed the drip pan inside I noticed on the bottom there are only 3 "fins". There is also a spot of braze about the size of a silver dollar in the middle of where a 4th fin would be. Am I missing a fin or is this the norm?? Thanks, Jim

I looked a at couple all three fins . May be they repaired a pin hole ?

3 baffles are normal on the bottom of the dipper tray. The braze is likely a repair where water has rusted through the tray, somewhat common.
