mains girdle in a 95

[uk blowers]

Seem to remember reading somewhere that there were sump clearance issues when fiting a mains girdle inside a '95 sump.Can anyone confirm this

the fitment issue is with the oil pump, but very easy and quick to fix that with a grinder or dremel

they offer a street and a race....the race requires work

if you order cantons girdle, they do sell a sump togo along with it.

I have a main girdle and had to switch to a Fox pan that is wider througout the mid section area. In addition, I had to break out the mallet to make a few adjusments. Otherwise, go with aftermarket pan.

Thanks guys...........I have one on the way now so will have to cross the clearance issues as they arise.

Answering my own question to a certain extent........but then coming up with another.
Main clearancing problem arises with the oil pick up pipe which gets lowered by the thickness of the girdle. I have cut out a section of sump and fabricated another piece to weld in which will cure this problem, but with the engine on the stand and no sump on I can see the dipstick will hit one of the webs on the girdle. Anyone come across this and figured a way round it ?
