Sump re-fit

I bought a cheap gasket off Ebay, fitted the new baffle from Burton power into the sump then refitted it. Then I didn't like the fit so I bought a Cometic sump gasket which comes with the original Ford seals. And re-fitted it. I hate doing a job twice but I'm satisfied that the new gasket is good. It doesn't seem to leak - we'll see what it's like in use.

Here's the sump with the new baffle in place:

I also fitted stiffer metal engine mounts:

Good work Charlie. I've had the same experience with GAZ and Compbrake, both very helpful I thought too.

Yep, I'll be at Brands. Not 100% that I'll have done everything on the car that I want, but I see no reason to not be there... the clutch might have its own view on this but I'm going to take my chances anyway.

Excellent - see you both at Brands then.

Not doing the test day at Snetterton?
