I must say I am extremely nervous of the lack of sump clearance---especially with road speed humps which can vary in construction.
Sorry David, I missed your comment when I last looked here.
One I noticed how low the sump was I changed my technique from straddling Speed Humps to driving over them with offside wheel (lowest side) where possible. That is what I would have done with the Gate Stop had I realised it Cobbles had sunk. In future I will do that regardless.
What kind of ball part cost did your "conversion" cost?
.You would need to Ask Peter Mulberry for the Actual cost + Vat + Postage for you model as he does a replacement service on some but in my case it was my own sump that he altered because he had not converted my type/model before.
The Dealer Charged me £150 + Fitting.

The Sump Guard was from the Factory (The part number on my invoice is MCF007282) Engine Closing Plate @ £117.75 + Vat + Fitting. This needed to be 'cut down' and drilled to fit and in both cases it is the labour cost that is the 'killer' so if you can fit them yourself then it makes it the more attractive option. My work Cost was mixed with other repairs.
I hope that helps but as H says don't worry, just be more aware than I was and I am sure that you will be ok.
