Very helpful ![](/images//smilies/tongue.gif)
You need to chop enough off so that the bottom of the sump is about level with the chassis rails. So it depends on your engine mounts. But at a guess
I would say somewhere around 30-40mm is about right...
I stand to be corrected though.

try this
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Only thing I would suggest that there is not much point in reducing the sump further than the lowest part of the clutch bell housing. If that makes
sence. imho. ATB Ray.

I followed Marks illustration. Worked a treat. Highly recommended if you want to do it yourself.
Sealing the welds with Mig is a pig to do but possible if you are half decent welder and patient.

Thanks guys great work.
I like the second one (from RHOC) site IIRC but I will look at both and make my mind up.
The link to Mark's doesn't seem to work but I've had a kind offer for email so no problem.
Cheers.
Bu66er, posted on the wrong link!

I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.
