I just bought a brand new sump for my Punti 8v Mk2 from Euro Car Care (google it, there only one!). I was pleased with their fast delivery. They usually ask for VIN for a 100% match of the part to your car.. Mick is a very dedicated, genuine person. Prices reasonable. Comms very fast (within few hrs)!

you need to give them a few coats of hammerite before fitting

Another convert! Big Mick is a star, isn't he...? :worship:

Did you know, by the way, that (although I think you may have to make a small donation to the forum, first...) you can get a discount at Eurocarcare.net, as a member of the forum...?

what Dave said, the Oil will protect from the inside but the seriously poor coat of paint on the outside would be far better bulked up if you want something that will last

i paint them with anything then grease them
they are always still in good condition when they come back for their half yearly inspection
not into spending money on unecessary frippary

 

[Ziggy122]

So a few nice coats of hammerite and then wap a load of old engine oil and grease mixed to protect - i'd guess it'd work

The salt atm is a pain as its just eating paint

In my experience, grease etc is not great, it just gets washed off on the road.

The sump is in a very exposed place. More modern cars might have a plastic under protector.

You could always apply a healthy layer of JB weld across the whole front of the sump to add some extra thickness and then paint it?

which get brittle and a good road jolt which happens alot with the beloved ""pot holes""
Driving on what left of the road, they snap and most people drive with them flapping or the missing

My mums has been missing for years! No problems but 8 years of protection and last 4 its not been a problem really

[atom0007]

Seen plenty flapping round for sure! Wondering whether it's going to fall off right in front of me

 

[s and b]

i use old pit grease
i guess it must be better than that noncy southern grease stuff yet i read londons drains are blocked by the stuff

anyways
it wont get washed off with normal driving
sometimes i wonder where you guys actually go in your cars

 

[atom0007]

I use bear fat, the leftovers from my daily hygiene routine

 

[oldhammer]

Thanks chaps.

Wow this fred soon got filled up with ideas,

iwill try the grease, and see if that helps stop the rust,

ordinary grease or will the old ming out ma chip pan do ?

ive found some paint in the shed for the sump,

this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRANVILLE..._Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item1e74bda6a5

a few coats of this and then hamerited shouid do the job,

 

[PuntoHowTo]

Or just follow my video I think the paint brushes were a pound the two tins of paint were £1.19 each a wire brush from the shed and a bottle of jenolite was £5-6, basically all done for under £10 and I took a look this week end gone, over a year later and it looks the same as the day I finished it
