Thanks Steve,
I have a sort of deadline as I've got the date for my operation it's on the 25 th November 2020 unless Covid affects things at the last minute as an ICU bed has to be free for me.
Cheers
Ted

My pipe had no clips just a push fit with a pipe showing it's age with a lack of elasticity - I guess as it's under suction so no need?
I will need to replace it for sure.

No clips on that hose. Once the sump is fitted it can't go anywhere anyway.

Mainly due to storage considerations I've decided to leave the engine in place in the frame probably until early next year now.
Still toying with the idea of removing the cylinder head & barrels in situ but seeing NJ's build I don't want to hit head nut issues at present so might leave it as is.

Can't leave it alone so yesterday finished oven baking the sump. Baffle plate was slightly rusty so it had the "Evaporust" treatment as I could not undo the holding screws it was done in place over 2 days. Decided against grinding out sump scuff - left its lightly battle scarred looks on the fins.
