Default Sump Shortening, Who has & pics?

Cleaned up my spare 1.8 CVH sump just now ready to have a go at shortening it.

Who has done theirs, any pics? And how did you go about it?

TT

I used a CVH 1.8 sump for my Zetec. I left the Zetec oil pickup.

I don't know if it will help, might be too late, or perhaps you saw these pictures already, but there is an interesting series of pics on Locostbuiders.
