an inch below the chassis rail sounds fine... many people have it lower than that.

1" below chassis rail seems a luxury Rescued attachment sump 72mm clearance.jpg

MIne is like bobs maybe a bit lower. Iv had to raise my car more than i want to compensate. A shallower sump is the next big purchase.

An inch is a luxury amount to have...
