I will take this thought into account when starting the job, but I will try and keep it a decent job so will attempt to fit the whole structure.
Cheers.

Its a good starting point for your search if you can not get them local
I just bought a sump from Euro...
Found a smallish hole when I took the gearbox cross member off.
Hole is in between where the two captive nuts are that holds the crossmember.
New one on its way to me. might as well get it done as its one less thing to worry about.
OK just an update on my own post.
Spoke to a few mates who are fitters. They told me to fit sump with sealant and put no sealant under the rubber gaskets that sit either end of the crank and to not put oil in until at least 8 hours so the sealant sets otherwise it will leak.
So taken that on...
I am going to do the cross member under the radiator.
Not that its falling to bits but I think I could do it early as it looks a bit scabby.
Please correct me here if I am wrong.
I think I need to remove the bumper, leave the rad and coolant in place but lift it up and weld / bolt the new part...
A bit of advise please from maybe someone who has been through this.
I have a 02 plate micra 1.0L K11.
It had a rotten sump and oil was leaking slightly so I decided to buy another sump ( New ) and fitted it.
I lowered the exhaust front pipe along with the cradle so I could remove the pan.
Used...
