Title: Replica 131 Abarth Sump Post by: royjb on February 05, 2012, 12:24:27 PM Hi all
Currently on Ebay an Italian seller is selling replica 131 Abarth sumps. I just wish to know if anyone has any experience with these sumps and what if any modifications would have to be done to fit to my 2000cc 131. Also do they work or are they just a waste of hard earned cash Title: Re: Replica 131 Abarth Sump Post by: Tas131 on February 06, 2012, 12:29:00 AM 740 Euro is a lot of coin for a high volume sump. Unless you're looking for train spotter concourse points get an argenta sump.

Someone had fabricated this sump before i got my hands on it. Seems straight forward. Look and you can see the MIG welding made during alteration.

How about clearance with your oil filter?
Title: Re: Replica 131 Abarth Sump Post by: parrish on February 12, 2012, 02:26:14 AM Clearance is fine, the short side of the sump if you look closely has a curved recess, dont know where the bottom half came from but it looks designed for the job.
Heres a couple of old photos of the sump on the car.

I have a couple of spare sumps so I will get them out and see how I can modify one

Title: Re: Replica 131 Abarth Sump Post by: royjb on February 12, 2012, 11:37:55 AM I read somewhere that the Argenta sump was not really suitable for track work. Is this correct?
