Is that a request for a gasket too?

Think I've got one, just not 100% and don't want to offer when I'm unsure of what I've got.

Not planning to do sump anytime soon, thanks for offer though

Waiting on my glass fibre parts from DS composites and getting a quote to ceramic coat my exhaust system

OK so for 5 that's £75.48 inc shipping, and £15.10 per gasket inc shipping.

Come over once a year for Christmas holidays, as light as those are could have brought them over for you!

When installing those, be sure to take a steel block and tap down any irregularities in the sealing surface, a lot of times they will get distorted and not allow for proper sealing.

We'll have to remember that for next Christmas!

Thanks, good tip. I also saw something about using zip ties to keep the gasket in place or something.. I'll have to dig that out, but people in the thread I read said it was genius.

Are the standard sumps on 280s the same as 240s? I imagine they are …

I might be wrong, but I think the early s30s had a rear sump and the later ones had the sump further toward the middle. Same gasket though.

Yes, this is a good tip as they can be fun to fit.

The inside won't be rusty. The baffle is spot welded on, so you're power file should be able to release it without holing the sump. You can't really clean it thoroughly without removing the baffle. Will need to be welded back on.
If you get the outside blasted and painted while the baffle is off, you can be confident there's no media in it at the end.
Don't paint the inside

@Robotsan actually, bad advice there. Weld the baffle back on after blasting and cleaning, but before painting. Otherwise the heat of the welding will ruin the paint.

Ah yeah that makes sense, I *think* I would've done that anyway but who knows! thanks

Am I seeing another item being added to the list of things I need to weld for you this year?

Nah it's ok, I know an old boy with a little unit round the corner I use for odd jobs. Save you for the complicated stuff!
