Now a K series dry sump question

[ECR]

Trying to fit a (gold) dry sump pump and the small thermostat housing outlet is within 15mm of the dry sump pump scavenge pipe. This means that fitting the 5/8" 90 degree bend that exits here is not possible. Is there a different Thermostat housing or some other way to overcome the problem ? I cant believe that it's a force it in solution ....

Err yes..it is...

 

You could try shortening the stub on the outlet..

Hmmmm

It just about fits but it's not pretty. Given that it's a bespoke (?) dry sump pump I would have expected a better solution.

 

Thanks for the reply, at least I know that I haven't missed the obvious
