Shortend Sump

[Guest DROID]

I've just completed the shortening of the sump but can anybody advise the correct distance between the pick-up pipe and bottom of the sump? I would say with the pick-up shorten near to the bend I've got about 4mm.

I lined this up after I'd cut the bottom off the sump, and before I re-welded the base plate to it. The engine was up-side-down at the time on an engine stand.

 

I seem to remember it going right on the first bend which makes the brazing a tad more difficult. Make sure you get the angle right.
