While out on a ride today, I came down on my oil pan skid pretty hard. I did it's job but now I need to get it back in shape and improved for next time. Straightening it out is easy enough, what options do I have to support it better? What about adding a bracket to the transmission bolts? I know I can get to one easy, not sure about the others.

It’s normal for the oil pan skid to flex. If it’s steel it won’t return to shape. If it’s aluminum it will come back into shape. In your case welding some angle iron underneath running fore to aft would strengthen it. Don’t attach it to the transmission pan bolt with a bracket. I’d just leave it. It did its job.
