Sump baffle

Post by L7MAD »

Hello, I got the sump baffle photo'd below off ebay the other week and was wondering if anyone recognised what company might of made it? and more to the point how it may fit? It is made of steel and was listed as for a Mk1 gearbox - I haven't split the engines off either of my gearboxes yet so not sure exactly what they look like - maybe it'll become more obvious when I do. The large part seems fairly obvious but the other two parts don't appear to attach to the main part in any way (maybe there is a part missing) so any ideas what they could be for and how it could all go together would be very useful thanks.

Thats the most complicated windage tray I have ever seen. I have no idea how it fits. Sorry.

This is the one I have

The case and windage tray came from "The Fastest Mini in Scotland" that my Dad used to build 'boxes for many years ago. The tray is bolted in using a variety of bolts, some are tapped in the casing, some are right through (and slaistered in Hylomar) to the outside.

The tray was made up by the engine builder, not my Dad.

What a nightmare it must be to install the laygear, thrustwashers and a COPUP with that small hole in the tray...

Vegard, not hard really - the tray goes in afterwards - there is a split underneath the pickup pipe ;)

Thanks Guys - on close inspection this one is cracked just below the oil pick-up pipe and as the fitting of the other two parts is still a mystery maybe I'll add this to my ever growing pile of ebay buys that won't end up on the car :roll:

Regards Paul.
