A properly baffled sump really is the only option. Alloyproducts on here does them I think so might be worth getting in touch with him.
Alternatively, I have one for sale if you are interested?? Extra capacity and extra baffles welded in...
Cheers,
Mike

Can't remember what Nigel (aka 'alloyproducts' I think) charges, but his work is what is pictured above...
That sump is still for sale and ready to ship! Drop me a PM if interested...
Cheers,
