After looking at the comments it seemed a long process to find replacement parts which could take weeks and being the impatient person I am I thought it can't be that hard to change it, so I took off the spring wire and mesh guard and found the pick up tube was just hanging inside about 50mm. After checking the cross tube cover I decided to cut the shroud and the pipe which gave me the extra clearance I needed but only just. I took about 50mm off the sump and was able to graft it back on the same place.
I increased the depth of the front section which now gives me another 15-20%
more volume of oil. My sump plug is still in the same place which also lines up with the cover plate in the floor. So thank you for the suggestions. I should have not jumped the gun so quick
