7a sumps are fitted with plastic baffel plates [that weigh 240 gr] , do the 7a still have the big metal oil splash plate as fitted to aby/adu or just a plain cork sump gasket

im trying to save weight everwere
aby s2 sump weight 5.6kg ,windege metal tray 640grm = 6.240kg total. standard aan 4.6kg , standard 7a 5.8kg . my thoughts are to use the aan but fitted with plastic baffles 240grm from 7a with no widedge tray = 4.840kg total saving 1.4kg apprx 20% saving
. but i wont do this mod if its risky with out metal windege tray. my crank has been knife edged so I presume the oil falls off it easly . my other option is a passat steel sump 2.8kg , 3.5kg with alloy bracket these come with to bolt sump to gearbox . but we would need to make some baffles so this sump would prob end up weighing 3.8kg without a metal windedge tray so 3.8kg total almost 40% saving . do the 3b and RR engine use a windage tray or are they same as 7a ?
