Pinto Shortened/RS2000 Sump Wanted!!
mattgriffiths2002 - 15/2/08 at 04:53 PM

Hi folks,

I am after either a shortened Pinto sump or I I think is it the RS2000 sump which is made shallow? I tried to modify mine but made a right hash of it so has anyone got one and if so how much would you want for it? I would probably prefer a new one so the RS2000 one is preferable but still, any would suit really - beggars cant be choosers!

Cheers,

Matt

Like this?

NTDWM by the way.

If you do get one make sure you get the pick up pipe as the standard one is no good with the RS2000 sump.

It's also worth getting an RS2000 ally bellhousing to go with it as the sump and bell housing bolt together.

HTH

Cheers

Remember the RS2000 one is ali and will crack if hit (which will happen fairly frequently in the average Seven unless you fit a sump guard). I'd go with a welded steel one - much tougher.

I would second that. Look at this link if you cant do it I'm sure you can find someone that can.

The best solution i have seen to this is from the F2 stock car guys it consists of a reasonable plate steel base uniform height and looks bomb proof! my alloy rs2000 sump was good but still hung 3+ inches below the chassis. price i recon around £100 but you'll have no problems with it and its new! I can find more info, no problemo!

Ok, thanks, I think ill go with a shortened one then for its strength, but id probably prefer to buy one off somebody to save me time. Im keeping my eyes open on ebay but has anyone on here got one?

Thanks

I believe Mk do them. For that matter you could try a few of the 7 manufacturers.
