Default 2 quick questions

Hi guys. Haven't done much on my build for a few days because i'm waiting for bits.

Just been plannning wiring, anyone know how close to the fuel pipes i'm allowed to run the cables, is there a minimum distance?

Also, i've been having a nightmare trying to shorten my sump - I've cut it, welded a plate on but there's a little bit that goes damp when i fill it with water. No matter how many times i grind it back and re-weld, it still goes damp when filled with water. (doesn't actually drip). If i run a bead of tigerseal or silicone on the inside, will this do anything to the oil?

If so, does anyone know of a shortend zetec or cvh sump for sale anywhere? Needs to be about 6" top to bottom.

Thanks all

Dave

Best bit so far: Getting it running
Worst bit so far: Cutting steel for wishbones and engine mounts.
Most annoying bit so far: Generator packing up half way through welding.
