Clearance from sump to pickup.

What clearance is required between the strainer and the sump?
 
Pinto with cosworth 2wd sump and pickup if it matters?
 
Thanks, Shaun

    I dont know what the actual rules on this would be but I think you would want about 3mm, any less and it might restrict flow, any more and it might allow cavitation...

    Hi Shaun,
     
    Have you seen these scrapers?  You can them direct from the guy on TurboSport - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/320897858045?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1388wt_1270
     
    Look really good.
     
    Cheers,
