Okay, I see what your up against now.
I'd do the two metal plates welded into a gentle "V" and if you cut them to length just right you could have the drippings fall pretty much right down the existing pipe and bucket. Or you could exercise a bit of redneck ingenuity and simply elevate the firebox side using a few bricks and encourage the drippings/water to move toward the existing bucket when you are hosing it out after cooking.
The pipe idea may work, but I worry about the pipes acting like radiator coils and distributing the heat unevenly in the pit.

Okay, cool. Pretty sure the guy who will be doing the real work here has some sort of bending maching that could put a little crease in the plate allowing for grease flow.

I have one stainless "plate" that angles down slightly toward the ball valve on the far end (opposite firebox) of the smoker, so any drippings migrate toward the valve. No issues at all with clean up.
