Never heard back from hiflow, Guess too many people emailed in asking for pictures 
Constella are busy so they haven't had a chance to look into a weld in version.
Shame as I don't want to buy one to only cut half of it off.

They dont need cutting.
Presumably he wants to cut off the mounting which bolts in-between bottom end and sump, and then weld the leftover plates into the sump?!

This is what i meant
Looking at it more I don't think the constella could be welded as you wouldn't be able to get it back on with the top plate.
Will confirm if they can do the discount again.

it bolts in and is dead easy that way welding it adds hassle

Weld not that hard, and easy when taking the engine back apart for any reason.
I just wanted a baffle sump which does the job and not over complicated in design

Buy Constella kit, fit (with no cutting), enjoy and don't worry
Job done and cheap insurance for the engine

I was thinking more in terms of simplicity.
I'd be worried about f**king something up if i had to remove the oil pump, was hoping a weld in would avoid this need.

Compared to the proper trapdoor units that only flow one way like pugsport and constella they arent as good though
Yea it limits the flow but oil will still run away around the welded plates wereas a trapdoored one wont allow that

Someone competant with a welder could make a killing on here if they made their own and supplied it as a kit/bolt in

question on the constella baffles
instead of it being sandwiched between block and sump causing possible sealing issues could it be welded to the sump or is it alloy?

It really doesn't have any sealing issues. I've ran a constella one for 2 years and it's been pretty much the only place oil hasn't sprung from

tbh, i can't answer the question about if they've changed it - I don't know. Mine is stainless. I'm very happy with it - very well constructed, has the flap that some dont, and never had any warnings about low oil pressure so have to presume either I'm not driving hard enough or it works well - I'd like to think the latter
