WANTED - 1600 Xflow Sump
nib1980 - 11/4/09 at 04:02 PM

Hi All

Alfter grounding out AGAIN, only 12 miles after getting back on the road, I'm in need of a 1600 xflow sump

Ideally a big wing, or modified for improved ground clearance, or better still full dry sump setup!

BUT if nothing else a sump is needed.

Any one with anything let me know

Beer tokens waiting

Many thanks

Is it a shortened sump you have holed ? If not , why not cut it down , and cure your ground clearance problem ?
Crossflow sumps are not the easiest of steels to weld - I've done a few - but not a major job

A bit of info on shortening a sump can be found here.

Just a description of the way I did it - might give you a few ideas if your sump is still standard.

U2U if you want any further details.
