Shallow sump mods
The Mazda sump has been cut down to about 25mm using a combination of slitting saw on the mill and an air body saw.
When I'm happy with the engine position, I'll get busy with the CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) and design a new deep section.
The modified pickup is underway.
Never throw anything away, the tubing came from someone's abandoned camping table! |

Just don't forget to include some means to eject the reactor core if the dilithium crystals come into contact with any dark matter during the transition to warp speed...

I am deeply impressed with the stuff you do, even if I don't totally understand most of it.
My achievement yesterday was working out why my drill wasn't working very well - I found it was switched to reverse. I guess we are on different levels...

I look forward to the day that we all meet up and MoriniMan appears from nowhere leaving a trail of burning tyre marks.

Drills have reverse? Is that for filling holes?  |

It was in screwdriver mode too. I bought it because I thought it would be useful to unscrew things when I have screwed up.

I used the 'hammer' facility on mine yesterday...quite effective but now all the casing is smashed........
And I am assuming they call them drill bits , because when I am finished leaning with all my might on a blunt drill until it glows to get a hole , its usually in two bits.......

Gary - You want to use my wife's 'multi tool'.
It used to be my wood chisel but now is a screwdriver, paint stirrer, lever, hammer, paint scraper ....

Shallow Sump Mods should use Vespa and Lambretta components.
