Default Blacktop Sump

Evening All,

Can anyone confirm what the main section of the blacktop sump is made out of. I know that the small bottom sections is steel, but is the main part an alloy or is it aluminium etc?

I'm looking to get two oil returns welded onto this section, does anyone know someone/somewhere in the Wrexham/Chester area that can do this?

I've had one quote of £30 which seems a lot given that I'm supplying all of the parts and performing the prep work.

Thanks, Phil.

£30 to TIG weld 2 fittings on is a good price

get a few quotes if you think this is expensive

work on an hours rate of 5-/60 quid, thats 1/2 hours work, and it probebly will be about that to be fair.
