RB30 sump from GQ patrol

[pedro]

I've tried all the wreckers etc. and no'one has one, just thought I'd try on here before I go to plan b and modify another standard RB30 sump.

If you need a 30 sump i have 3 ill take a pic if i go to work tommorow of mine I just cut the whole thing 30mm up from the flange threw the top part away (keeping drain section) and just welded a new flat section 3/4 of the way back from the front then i just made a pan section with wings out the side so it held 4.5 litres also put a baffle in it for best results on the pickup i reccomend tig welding it that way you know its got penetration
virtually take o ring out of top cut it 10 mm off the flange will have to rotae and add a bit of tube into it .
Make sure that strainer is off the bottom a couple of mm.

Thanks Pete, already done ;), I did basically the same thing but i used the grey sump that I'd already modified and welded it to the RB30 flange, on an angle this time though ::), then I fitted the baffle plate, I had to weld the pickup with the mig as it's all i have but I filled it with water after and left it to sit and there's no seepage, just got to make a support bracket for it now as it's so long, did you put a bracket on yours, if yes where did you mount it i might have to drill and tap a bolt hole as there doesn't seem to be any mounting points.

No i did not fit a bracket but there should be a hole there tapped M6 just look hard as a GQ im pretty sure has one.



should not need one unless your running at willobank or QLD raceway.
I flogged the crap out of mine 13 banjo diff centres later motor was still good.
And it had over 400 thousand KS on it out of a VL.
