This one will. You could cut the lip off the other one and replace the bottom of the sump if you had to. I hope this saves someone the frustration of wondering why the hell won't this motor and gearbox go down another 20mm
Been there and done that.
Colin.

Made up the fuel drain parts. As you can see, I gas welded them in.

Done the fuel connection and used the filter out of a standard in line one. Easy and cheap to replace.

It's probably a bit hard to follow but you can see each stage as I went.

I followed the original design except with the unseen, better filter that is off the shelf. Sorry for so many pics but they may be of use to someone if they need to do something similar.
