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

Nearly got my sump finished will have a fair bit o flapwheeling to do and then a coat of paint
