[Healeys] aluminum oil pan

[Wayne Schultz]

  Hello,

                   Thanks for all the input from the group concerning my 
oil sump not fitting.  It seems as though others have had the same 
problem with the aluminum pan hitting the corner of the oil pump. My oil 
pan came from AH Spares in England.  They have been great and trial 
fitted a replacement pan to a block that had the oil pump installed and 
verified that there was clearance. They are shipping that pan to me.  
Since other people are having the same problem these pans are probably 
from the same source and supply to AH Spares, Moss etc. If the maker 
would offset the hole pattern slightly to one side this would probably 
take care of the problem as the mounting flange is pretty wide.
