Default Big wing sump 2WD, help needed!

a mate of mine just had this sump made,

once fitted there is not enough room to bolt the starter in, anyone else had this trouble?

They have forgotton to make the wing not on the turbo oil drain side a bit shorter.

Otherwise you have the problem you describe and the starter motor won't go in.

Send it back to them!

Will put some photos up of a couple i have made for members on here later and show you what i mean.
