    Slightly different i think. Also depends on the phases as some are deeper than others. Williams are deeper than valver ones

    also true^^

    I thought they were different coops but before i sold my williams sump on i compaired to to a valver one.. they were exactly the same, internals fitted etc etc.

    But as far as i know there are 2 different shapes and you need to get the right shape for it to fit correctly.
