In all fairness to you and mike id never seen one like that but looking at it id say its not a bad idea and like said atleast the baffles cant fall apart..!!lol
The only big wing sump iv seen is one where the sides have been cut out and the wings welded on for more capacity..
It obviuosly works as iv heard about mikes driving and im sure that would of had bottom end failure before now if it didnt work..
To your worries mike about a dry sump set up,yes i used to worry alot about gravel traps etc and belts but iv had one on my car since 2005 and never had an issue..
The belt being ripped of by anything is about as unlucky as a stone or similar going into the cambelt on a cossie with out a cover on??
Ive never known it to happen??although i did re build the pump twice in that time and change the belt about 5 times..
