No you wont, you leave the top part of the sump as it is, then measure about a inch down from the top, and cut it all the way round, rotate it and weld it back on.
I'll get a picture to illustrate how mine was done when the weather clears up here. Cheers Martin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mohit K.

Mohit, An alternative to reversing the crossmember is cutting and rewelding the sump + modifying the oil pickup. I did this on my fj20et 180bsss, the original crossmember stays in place and you can use the standard fj20 mounts, bolts straight in to a 510 if you reverse the sump. Hope that helps.

That's right Zac. Rick, the US boys do cutting etc for backyard VH30E conversions, the Experiment Engineering kit is done exactly the way that the Stu Wilkins kit is done here. Cutting up xmambers generally is not the done thing in OZ. The guides for the control arm retaining pins on the 1600 are tapered so they also have to be ground out and re-welded in the correct way and you have to be careful that they are welded back in dead straight. That all there is too it for a FJ20/1600 xmemeber.

Are you sure about that Rick? I've never seen it done like that. In the popular off the shelf kits, I am pretty sure that they just ground off the washers that hold the control arm studs in place then moved the stud around to the opposite side and rewelded it in place. Then refit it to the car and LCAs. Mohit, do you have Datsun 810 there? zac Quoting sss510 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Mohit. > You need to fit a reversed Xmember. > > Your Xmember needs to be cut twice, and the centre peice needs to be > re welded back into place, but with the middle section facing the > other direction mate. > > ---------------------/____________\--------------------- > > > --------------------\______________/------------------- > > Very hard to show you here, but I hope you get what I meen. > > Rick White. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Mohit K.
