I have the sloping front Alloy sump which I gat from Tony a long time ago. It has AR cast into it so I suppose it's the Alan Raeburn pattern.
It has lugs on the side to allow it to be levered of. I take it off before removing the engine, makes thinks easier. I had to relieve it slightly to clear the chassis near the front and inside at the fron to clear the heads of the bolts holding the gause in place.
I'd got fed up with the tin sumps leaking. Pin holes kept appearing caused by condensation collecting in idle engines.
