Thanks Pete, yeah i checked out the COR Sump on their site, but was curious to what other people have done themselves, and how it turned out?

My sump sits quite close to the ground and definitely needs shortening.

I'll get a photo of one I have...Paul popped in the other day and we just cut 25mm off the bottom of his and weldded a 3mm skid plate. We then welded the original drain plug back on. Thats what Paul wanted as it was quick, cheap and you still use about the same amount oil, just fills up a touch more....

The one I can make now uses one piece of steel to make the bottom and front side, I then bend the other 3 sides out of a piece of sheet and weld that in. The top plate is profile cut for perfect fit and welded on top. Its bigger than the first one we made..
