My sump looks like this (top down view)
Front Rear

The detail above the Drain hole "X" is cast into the bottom of the deep
part of the sump. It looks more or less like the picture shows in that
a baffle could somehow pivot on a shaft that is captivated by the cast
risers.
Side view "through the side of the sump" would look like this.

The risers shown stand about 3/8 inch above the top surface of the bottom
of the sump.
There looks to be some wear on the insides of the two risers, which leads me
to
believe that something pivots in thier.
Any clues?
