Rework your own.
Look here.
The drip leek was around the oil stick. The tube for the stick is soldered and it interferes with the weld seem. |

The German made, 2 piece aluminium sump won't fit with my engine mounts, or any other mounts which use the standard Subaru engine mounts in their original locations. It ws designed for use in Beetles, with the engines cantilevered off the gearbox.

what are you doing about engine support mate? I see tsr do a seperate engine brace bar for use with lowered sumps... was thinking about maybe mixing up some parts with my conversion.
