Yes, the deal Martin proposes would ship 3 (or more) sumps to one persons house, who would then have to re-package and re-ship to the other two buyers.
A quick currency conversion, and splitting the 82 Euro 3 ways I get ~ $300 per sump (without the extra in-US shipping). At ~ 11lbs, shipping here is probably going to run about another $20-25 or so for each one sent from the original drop point. So the way I see it, the bloke who has to do all the logistics/handling/re-packaging and re-shipping gets his sump for 3 bills, the other two cough up another $25/per (or maybe a bit less?).

Looking at an individual sump - about $365 to your door. Either way it still looks like a lot of value for a very nice product.
I have to take a close look at my chassis and do a test fit of my EJ before I can say yea or nea. Not doing a VW conversion, my car has a mid-engine tube chassis which converges at the trans mounting face - need to see if there's room (below) for this sump.

I'll have to think about that. I know it's very good quality. but that's a lot of "cheddar" I still need a lot more for my car before I can drop this kind of money on a sump.

I would be interested in purchasing one of the sumps in a group buy. I would be willing to buy the three have them shipped to me and then once they arrive, you send me the money and they ship out. I am in Santa Fe now so shipping inside the US would be from 87505. Let me know if anyone else is interested, but please be serious about it.

Thanks,

As much as I like this Sump, some careful measuring on my set-up revealed it just won't fit my tube chassis. Don't want to re-engineer this part of the chassis, so I've decided to go with a standard shortened sump. This also allowed me to utilize (portions of) the Small Car engine mount - to relocate the mounting bar at the timing belt end of the engine. Since the SC mount tucks between the sump and exhaust (on either side), there's no room for a widened oil pan, at least not as wide as the Bug@5seed pan.
Maybe on the next project.....

Hi guys,

will have the sumps back latest the week after Christmas. Super RSi now offered to arrange the group buy from his side.
My offer is still valid (230 Euro for one sump for a group-buy of at least 3 sumps in one unit, plus freight).

If you´re intersted, don´t wait too long, as currency is again changing to disadvantage for you. Please keep your eyes on this.
