Shortened Sump

[Guest joni]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm currently rebuilding a 2.0 engine and thought it seems a good time to put a shortened sump on.

 

Does anyone have one for sale?

 

If not where can I get one fabricated from and how much is it likely to cost?

 

Thanks in advance, Jon

Look here for the instructions. If you weld then it is easy to do yourself but if not then the cheapest way is to cut it and make the side box and base yourself and take it along to a local small engineering/fabrication firm and get them to weld it up for you. Use 3mm steel for the base and defiantly put the drain plug low down in the side of the side box and NOT in the base as even with it shortened you will still clout it occasionally.

Jon,

 

I'm also rebuilding a 2L pinto and have a spare shortened sump and oil pick-up that you can have for £10 if you like

jon, robin hood will exchange yours for round the £100 mark, if you have a go at fabricating your own, i've seen the details on a link to this site,but don't remeber which one, if you need a sump let me know as I still have a spare in the shed, pat (07732516788)

Colin,

 

I'm afraid Joni still wants it, so it'll go to him. Good luck with finding one!

Can anyone please post up pics of their shortened sump.

 

I'm also interested to see pics of the shortened oil pick up

 

Many thanks, Robin

[Guest robinj66]

Thanks for that Bob.

 

There are a couple of websites showing ways to shorten sumps and pickups and i was wondering what other people had done.

[Guest salty_monk]

Mine is the original chopped off then laid back inside itself (like putting Tupperware one inside the other (or maybe it's 2 sumps, I didn't do it) & welded, reduced capacity but doesn't seem to be an issue. It's the easiest way, maybe not the best but easiest.

 

I will build a guard under it eventually....
