Tonite I've chopped off the side of the sump to allow the type 9 starter to fit. I've roughly pushed all the ribs back but will need to bolt up the bellhousing and starter to see if its OK. Attacked the sump with the angry grinder and forgot to take any before photos. But, if your thinking of doing it yourself you know what the 'before' picture is.
Here you can see the modded sump pan and the back of the ali sump reduced to the same height as the type 9 bellhousing. Really need a new camera......
Next, I need to take the engine and alternator mount of the car and do the necessay mods to fit to the Focus engine. i need an idler to get teh water pump turning the right and the Focus block has one of the M10 engine mount bolt holes in the block missing that are present on the earlier 1.8. Strange..Got a £7.99 car cover from Lidl tonite which looks to be doing a nice job, bit flimsy but OK for in the garage.
