Sump modification
Needing my BMW alloy sump altered to give more ground clearance. Anybody good at, and have the heavy duty TIG welder for welding aluminium? Or know
someone or a business that could do the work?
Cheers
Craig
If it ain't broken, fix it anyway (just because).

A local engineers here in Barnsley did mine, cost about 20 squid.
Ask Froggy on here, he could probably do it for you.
Have you seen mine? Got some photos somewhere I think.

Yeah, yours looks good, do you think the same guy that dine yours might be interested in doing mine if send it down and cross his palm with some
silver?

What did you do with the dip-stick and oil level sensor that is mounted on the bottom of the sump?

Dipstick was fine and mine didn't have the sensor either. I took about 40mm off IIRC.

Had a look through your build diary of the sump modification, doesn't look to bad to modify, might have a go myself fabricating the pieces and
get someone to weld it up.
