Wanted: blown-up 5HP42a, or a sump from one

[MikkiJayne]

Hi all,

Need a sump for a 5HP24a. I'll buy a complete blown-up gearbox if anyone has one.

Not for my car - for one I'm working on where the sump has been tightened by a gorilla and is now pringle-shaped

Thanks,
MJ

Isn't that a potential candidate for 3D printing/copying? - assuming that plastic would suffice as a material? Might be easier/cheaper that breaking a 'box?

Interesting idea but its a bit vulnerable hanging down under the car to make out of plastic. An SLS machine is a little out of my price range

A new sump is £250-odd so not worth breaking a good gearbox for, but its back ordered so a donor broken gearbox is the next best solution if anyone has one.
