Hello all!
I have managed to get a perfect sidevalve sump! My question now, what colour should it be? It is aluminium. Should I have it like that(bare aluminium) or should it be in the engine colour (which will be a lightish grey blue)
Thanks in advance
Onne

Re: the colour of the sidevalve sump
The sump should be engine colour. Over the years the paint was often lost, leading people to believe it was always plain aluminium.Onne wrote:Hello all!

Personally,I prefer the sump in polished aluminium.It gives me something to look at whilst under the car!Something I do a lot of.Seriously,Judge is right.When I purchased my car,the sump was engine coloured.It had been off the road for approx 25 yrs.All the best,John.
Power to your Pistons,Johnnydoome.
