To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

 No sump  It's about 5mm alloy. It was a shear plate from an Aston Martin Vanquish, cut in half and bent in a press. |

Bumping this up due to cracking my sump.
What’s your suggestions for s sump guard??
The sump on the Inca van is quite low down so thinking if getting a shortened one knocked up too

Have been thinking of making one for my escort.
Making one like a under tray rather than the rally sump guard types if that makes sense..
Was thinking of 2 to 3mm alloy..

The sump on the Inca van is quite low down so thinking if getting a shortened one knocked up too The problem with shortening VAG sumps is that most of them have a fairly elaborate plastic Windage tray that's a snug fit inside, especially the ally sump models. This handily holds enough oil to stop you killing the motor if you do catastrophically hole the sump. (It's saved our lupo a couple of times, last time was a fist size hole). It keeps it in the tray and doesn't dump it on the floor til you turn the engine off. To shorten it you have to remove this, thus removing the safety net. You're better off raising the engine mounts than shortening the sump. |

careful of driveshaft angles and clearances if you start moving engines about, guessing its particularly low already so angles are less of a concern but clearance still wouldbe.
