zetec black top to type9
Hi
well today i trial fitted my new blacktop into my striker
Its going with a type 9 box
so once it was all together i noticed with the origional sump the starter motor has no chance of being fitted.
Am i right i thinking that the replacement raceline sump has modified castings to allow the starter motor to tb fitted?
lots of pics of sumps but not the gearbox end
any pics of raceline sump on a blacktop onto a type 9 ??
Cheers

The gearbox is Irrelevant.
The standard sump will fit if you chop lots of material of it. And find a skinny compact starter.
But yes the raceline sump does have a very generous cut out both sides for any starter.

Martin’s photo. I get carried away and chop more of than that.
Edit see sump mod sections.

There are down sides to this as it reduces oil capacity a lot.
Ok on the road but I would want more for a track car.

Not sure if it would suit a locost, but you could look at the premiermotorsports sump. just fitted one to my ST170 engne for my mk2 escort and
it's great. Less than 200 smackers delivered too 
I thought I could see light at the end of the tunnel, but it was just someone with a torch bringing me more stuff to do

They do one for the F2 stock cars that should suit a kitcar.

Plate is the start of my engine mounts.
No discounts to be had on Raceline but Gbs/ kitspares where as good as any.
