Does anybody know where I can get a sump for a Fireblade with the baffles to keep the oil under control.

Stuart Taylor,Fluke Motorsport,Fisher sports cars and Z Cars. There was one on ebay last week and I think it was the The kit car workshop that was selling it.

been trying to contact kit car workshop for a few weeks now , with no reply. Rumour has it that Martin had a major op b4 christmas and has totally scaled down with work

Martin Bell is currently off work following a quite serious op, not sure what the current situation is with getting stuff from them though.

Just out of interest why do you need a baffled sump? I have done a number of track days and never had any problems, only thing I had done was to get the sump plug moved to the side and fit a boss for an oil temp sensor.

looking for one myself, i think STM are about £200 and there only about 50mm deep. AB performance are £300

cheers mark

Thanks for the reply's, I was going to get one from S.T. Motorsport but wanted to check out the prices. The reason for the change, I have done loads of trackdays so far without problems, but the oil drain does hange down very low and that worries me.

Cheers

U2U Chris Gamlin on here and he can move the sump plug for you and put a boss in for a temp sensor if you need one, just sent it to him and it was done very quickly at an excellent price, far cheaper than a billet sump!!

HTH,
Rich.
