It would be cheaper to get your hands on a s/h sump, they are easy and cheap to come by, have a look on mig

go for about £20 for one
ask on MIG people throw them out all the time
there ally i think so you would need a ally welder and would prob cost you more to patch the hole up that to buy a second hand one

I mashed mine on 2nd day of 2ltr-age on a raised ironworks in the road!! Forgot how low the sump sits on the 20XE! I got a 2nd hand one from breakers for £15.

mine had been cracked and repaired with epoxy of some sort.
i dropped it and broke off the repair so had to get mine done.
was offered a few on mig for about a score, or a local engineering works would tig weld it for £40.
eventually was offered a free repair by animal on mig who lives up the road. he'd just got a a tig welder and needed the practice
