Cool, i've put baffles in mine too, so i'm hoping mine will also be ok regarding oil pressure. The capacity question has now been answered too, i think i'll go for 4.5 litres Wink

That's the closest shaped fabricated steel sump to the new casting that I am working on.

Typically the casting pattern arrived yesterday - two days toolaye to have had it on display at Vanfest this weekend. If I stored my photo's on line, I'd post some pics, but I don't.
