Sounds fair, and i should have noticed the change in pickup point on the sump.
i've looked at a few, alot use a steel bar through a bracket on the wall and each trap door, and not actually a hinge.
wouldnt need to be alloy as it wont rust in there, but why not while your at it.
im thinking that the diamond shape baffle would still need holes under it to allow oil to level on cruise, and just using the trap doors to force fill the baffle on corners.
question though, how much space should you leave between the diamond baffle and the front and rear walls of the sump pan? should this be sealed to force the oil into the pickup area, rather than allowing it to go around it?
