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..
