Thread: Manta 1.8 1800 big wing alloy sumps brand new fit escort perfectly

  1. #1

    Manta 1.8 1800 big wing alloy sumps brand new fit escort perfectly

    As title really, we have had a run of castings made which are basically a direct copy of the original Opel Manta 1800 cast alloy rwd winged sumps, as they were getting hard to get hold of and fetching crazy money in damaged, used condition.

    These are brand new castings, and will work in any rwd xe application with the engine at 7 degrees (will work upright but sump is then at an angle)

    It fits an escort perfectly as I have used them in this application in our in-house builds.

    If you are in Ireland, Group 4 Fabrications are also stocking these. (as are SBD over here too)

    They are priced at £175 + vat (so £210) plus carriage, which is normally £10

    We also do an exchange pickup pipe mod service to alter the stock 16v pipe to suit this sump, and also stock the gaskets and bolts and sump plugs to fit them

    The sump plug threads are helicoiled as standard to avoid stripped threads

    I certainly am!

    Waiting for my brother to get back from hols to sort our graphic out for the screen header

    Just realised that it doesn't say anything next to my avatar yet, have asked about this. I only paid up at the weekend though so may be a little while I guess

    These guys are doing a short production run of British made 45 Shore compound WCXM bushes which are far less harsh than the normal bushes. Worth getting in touch via contact details on their website if you're interested as I suspect they'll go fast dependent on what the price will be.
