Help USB out, is it a blacktop ir silver top zetec? (Denoted by colour of rocker cover)
On the blacktop you need to remove some of the webbing part of the top section of the sump

Yes you need to cut a lot of webbing away on a blacktop sump, heres one I did

Heres the mods I needed to do to a silvertop sump


Phase 2 sump on phase 3

Starter is a qx components qs1221, lucas lrs707 equivallent.

Hi sorry it's the blacktop engine
R1_pete your a star that's the info I was after and the pics thank
Obviously the sump has to be taken off to cut the webbing back

The sump doesn't need to come off for that, I hacked off all the webbing with a hacksaw and hammer with the sump in place.
You will want to modify the sump in any case to have some ground clearance.... I'll be taking off the bottom section only and doing the diy job listed on this site somewhere..
