Shortened Zetec Sump

I've got a spare sump that i had to get shortened, so cracking the existing one has sped me up into sorting it out:-


First i cut off the bottom of the spare sump with a hack saw. I cut a notch in the end to allow it to fill with an extra bit of oil.


Then cut a bit of ali plate to blank the bottom off and filed it to the right shape (with a hand from my dad below )



Then cut a blank for the end bit. This and the notch cut in the end allow the void to fill with extra oil retrieving some of the lost capacity.

Now off to the welders with it (its ali and i don't have a tig welder).
