That is a lovely bit of kit. Do you have the adapter to link the oil pump inlet to the Raceline pickup? Is there some kind of strainer gauze that bolts in the sump?

as far as im aware the sump bolts straight up to the oil pump? . there is another baffle plate that bolts on the ridge above the pick up pipe. there a gauze filter in the sump where the pick up pipe would meet the pump
