Zetec Short Sump
Again probably flogged to death
Was out for a run last night and still having problems with ground stikes in my 7.
Fitted sump guard now Ground clearence is 50mm - (standard sump)
Where could I buy a short sump. I don;t have skill or tools to modify one myself. aka I can;t weld ally.
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

A 2 part Focus sump is easy to modify as well, by cuttiung down the lower steel part.

Further to my previous post on Scholar not accepting 1.8 sumps. I have found a company in bristol who have shortened my sump. We got the height down
to 150mm and retained the original capacity.
Cost was around the same as a Scholar engine plus getting a sump.
The Company is Avondale welding 01454 228889. the owner is Mike. He was very helpful and is a car and bike enthusiast doing a lot of one offs for the
racing community.
BTW he has my dimensions already.

You could always cut the sump down , make a plate and then get somewhere to weld it up for you.If you get it nice and clean and ready to weld it
shouldnt be more than an hours work.
I modded my 1800 sump and made a baffle arrangement that is attached to the internal steel baffle plate, pics in my archive.

Surely some one can sell me one - It will take me couple of week to mod the exisiting one i.e remove it mod it - get it welded. Finding some one
willing to weld it in the North East of scotland is a joke. nobody want to work on small jobs only intrested in Big OIL jobs.......
