Prepping engine to fit billet sump

So had a crack at fitting the billet sump tonight. Removed the standard oil pick up and tried to fit the baffle plate but it would go on until you remove the oil pipe first as it sits in between. Thought I could just fit straight on without removing any other parts which is annoying. 






The pipe has two seals at either end. The Haynes manual recommends you replace these seals when refitting. Going to get some advise from AB Performance as this could delay things as I need to source the seals.

Managed to order the seals from a local bike spares place. It's 2 minutes down the road from where I work so very handy. Oil pipe seals were pence, the oil pick seal was like £4 (thought I'd treat the new pickup to a new seal). Will confirm part numbers when they turn up.
