That is kinda what I use on my personal car - metal straps Dzused inplace over Pig Mats. I also have one on my belly pan under the transmission. I have also seen metal mesh screen used to retain the pads.

I am a part-time tech inspector at the once-a-month Heads Up series at our local NHRA track where diapers or pans are mandatory on ALL classes. I have been asking some of the top competitors which they prefer - diaper or pan? I'd say it runs about 60/40 pans to diapers.

I looked at doing a pan, but the oil pan sits below the bottom rail and I don't another something dragging against the trailer when loading it. now that said, I went and bought a 'will fit' one. well, it just don't fit my engine because I run a 350 buick.  as usual i have to find someone to make one.  :'( :'(
