WANTED - 1600 Xflow Sump
Hi All
Alfter grounding out AGAIN, only 12 miles after getting back on the road, I'm in need of a 1600 xflow sump
Ideally a big wing, or modified for improved ground clearance, or better still full dry sump setup!
BUT if nothing else a sump is needed.
Any one with anything let me know
Beer tokens waiting
Many thanks

Is it a shortened sump you have holed ? If not , why not cut it down , and cure your ground clearance problem ?
Crossflow sumps are not the easiest of steels to weld - I've done a few - but not a major job 
Its cuz I is blond , innit

Will weld for food......

true, and i tried but thanks to my welding crapping itself, i blew a hole in it, i guess i can clean it up but i'm not happy about welding it up

A bit of info on shortening a sump can be found here.
Just a description of the way I did it - might give you a few ideas if your sump is still standard.
U2U if you want any further details.
