carpetstu Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 What Zetec is it? is it a Black top or silver top ? The silver top is fairly simple and the black top is far more complex. I have a black top with a Dunnell sump and I had to get new crank bolts made with extensions to take the baffle plate as Dunnells idea of drilling the originals and tapping extensions into them was a big no no. The other problem you will face is a silver top is done on an exchange basis the whereas the black top is a two part original sump and the supply company will not want to do an exchange and therefore may not be willing to supply a shortened one. Scholar told me the only way I could get one off them was to get an exchange unit from a scrap yard first. Dunnell agreed to no exchange but charged me for the lack of! Welcome to the joys of simple mechanics on Westfields! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetstu Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 forgot to say I think the site you may have been looking at might have been this one http://www.kevspictures.net/westfield/sump.php Kev helped me with some of my Zetec install and he is contactable via his site.
