Hi Owen Blushing here, I must admit that for 40 years I have used the method taught me....chop the side (lay on side with filler neck uppermost slows drain rate and aids emptying) out of a gallon can and fold the sharp edges over. Takes 5 min with a bolster chisel and hammer and lasts for years and costs nothing......then I went to a 'spares fair', nothing to do with Morgans and was looking at a tool stand as we all do ;-).
There are 2 heights/volumes and I got the smaller one, still plenty to go under the car. I tend to roll the car on a couple of wooden batons (made from scaffolding planks with leads cut into them) anyway so I have lots of space and ht also helps tip the engine back a little towards the drain plug and even with a low height trolley jack it makes jacking easier. All good fun ;-).
