Hi all,

I have a colleague over here who is building a GBS Zero with a 318 4 pot BMW motor. The engine is installed and now he has set the ride heights the sump is virtually dragging on the deck.. Is there a 'usual' or recommended way of chopping down the BM sump??

Thanks in advance.

The engine's in René and it's not going to be moving any time soon. Well not upwards anyway...

As for your second question I could ask you the same

This is what I'm doing here or if you prefer dans la langue de Moliere.

Hi
Sorry can't help with the sump.
But my mother was French & my father English & worked for the British embassy in Paris He was captured by the German's & banged up for the duration in a pow camp
Until he was liberated in 1944 & I was the result born in 1945 came back to England in 1952 & been here ever since,
René.
