Seems to be hard for the ERL guys to email back, so i think i will have to make a girdle my self. But i will make it in steel and 4mm thick at the oil pan surface, and of course thicker at the main cap. Do you think i should pin the girdle with the main caps?

nope, due to the fact that it fits on top of both the main caps and oil pan rails and that didtance changes from block to block, you need to machine the tops of the caps and the pan rails. This can easily be done with a bridgeport if needed.
