I wouldn't bother... I had to return 2 and get paypal involved to get my money back. The inside edge caught on the rod bolts everytime the crank
rotated causing a big bang, luckily i was only hand cranking it with a spanner. The 1st one they said was a 1 off miss build, until the 2nd one did
exactly the same thing. Quality was ok ish, just didn't fit. They tried to tell me i had a different 2.0 blacktop to the rest of the know
universe.
I ended up chopping my sump instead, GBS do a similar replacement sump to this for £300 which is cheaper than most sump kits, but still a little
pricey, but alot better.

I ended up using the standard 2 piece sump and chopping the steel lower part.
There's a really good guide on here somewhere of how to do it...
I don't/can't weld, so i just chopped up all of the bits and got someone else to do it including shortening of the pickup and adding
baffles.
Worked a treat and cost me less than £50 with other people doing the welding!

Details of how to do this in my build blog

I've not run on the road yet but had no issues so far when testing it, oil pressure ok just ensure you build up around the edge enough to
recover what you loose when chopping it down.
