Ian R Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Hi, I've holed mine and Caterham can't supply anymore due to minimum order quantities needed. Anyone got one in their garage anywhere they want to sell me? Thanks Ian
Mavic82 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Have you tried calling Titan, last I spoke, all be it a few years ago they had a batch. Worth a try.
Tazio Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 There's also this on ebayhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/caterham-vauxhall-sump-/121972791060?hash=item1c66251714:g:NmwAAOSwKtlWpmGR
Jochen Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 The ebay one is the wet sump version.Have two dry sump pans somewhere lounge around in the man cave.Try to take some pictures this week.
Ian R Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 Hi, yes I've called them. They wont supply the Caterham sump as its a Caterham pattern and Caterham wont order the minimum quantity that Titan need for an order.Titan dont have any of their own sumps available and if they started a batch it would be 3 months, so all crap really.
Ian R Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 JochenHi, i'll be really interested if you have a spare 1 or 2!I'll post a pic of mine later so we can compare.Thanks a lotIan

Jochen Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Iannow i can see the pictures. It looks like the pan is not your only problem. I have a set of used orign pistons with conrods for free if it you need...
Ian R Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 Jochen Hi the Caterham sump looks like an early vx dry sump one and will fit my car. How much to buy it, and any idea on how much to ship it to England? Thanks Ian
Jochen Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 I think half price from new will be fair?!But no idea what they cost previously...Maybe we can arrange some member delivery service. How quick do you need it?
Ian R Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 JochenHi, I'm happy to offer £100 GBP (or 250 German Mark) and cover postage, are you OK with that?Thanks for the offer of the pistons but I need Omega pocketed pistons to work with my slightly high lift cams.I will need to purchase 4 new forged rods and Omega pistons this week so I can get my new block and crank off to the engineering shop to be machined.ThanksIan
