Register Interest in a Winged Sump

This is the thread to register your interest in the Winged Sump that is being developed. We need to get an idea of how many units may be wanted. If it's just two or three, then we'll hand-fabricate them. If it's more, then we can get the sheet cnc-folded and economies of scale come into play.
Original thread here - links in at the relvant point with pics:

Yes please- how big will the wings be do you think as will probably require a mod of my undertray.
Cheers

I've taken some reasonably accurate measurements and posted them in the other thread.
Any one else interested?

Hi Jon,
Only just seen this - yes please. I'd be interested, assuming the purpose is to gain a bit of ground clearance!

So how much do you want for the pan?

I'm not entirely sure at the moment, Jan. The prototype has a fair slug of development time in it. I was intending to find out rough numbers, then we can get a quote from the CNC folders. Once we get that, then pricing can be firmed up - and the job made much quicker and easier. I will aggregate the total cost and it will be a transparent process.
I'll also need to fit the prototype to prove it does what it is designed to do, and also to work out the recalibration on the dipstick (saw it off and make sure you run just above the original max line?).
I have another spare sump I picked up on the way to Goodwood, so we "may" be able to work out some sort of exchange scheme. Finally, if you have bashed your sump or even holed it, we don't care - we just need to top bit!!

I have 4 perfectly useful sumps, 3 that have never been bashed. If I count the sumps on the cars, 6!
Perhaps if you get to sunny So. California, you can take a couple back with you.
