Teeth are ok Bob but I had a helluva tash.....Magnum PI would have be jealous as hell...should have been wearing a mask.
with the sump off I made a few measurements and off came the bottom and I hope to weld it back up tomorrow with a added collar to retrieve some capacity
here is the first cut on the sump


here are the parts to make up the collar to retrieve capacity

If there`s no starter in the way Kev a winged sump is a good way of grabbing some capacity back

got my sump finished ....just needs a clean and prep for painting....decided to move my drain plug to one of the wing sectors as I intend to fit a quickvalve to make changing the oil easier also put a new baffle in to make sure there is oil at the pick up under hard acceleration

Did you check it for pinholes? I recommend water inside and chalk on the seams.

K4KEV 13th November 2012 09:43 AM

checked for pinholes and cracks using acetone.....if there was any it will find them due to its ability to creep past/through anything.....I found 3 which were duly re welded, any I find once on the car I will probably use JB weld.

That must have put back what you nicked of the bottom of the sump + a bit I would have thought Kev.:cool: Just need a bit of 10mm thick plate under that now for a skid plate:eek:
