black top sump bolts up directly/same as Focus RS. What sump do you have? If it's not one of these then the bolts won't all line up, but just leave them as you already have more than a CVH setup holding it all together.

Ah ok thanks for that mate. I have a 2 litre silvertop with an rs1800 sump. The top 180 degrees is bolted up fine, so do you think it would be ok to leave the lower 180 degrees then? Cheers

there has been some debate in not using the lower bolts into sump/box as to whether it allows flex in the box and box damage if used hard.
a blacktop sump uses these a silvertop doesn't.
