Does anybody Make a Bracket to Utilize the 2nd Hole on the Oil Pump to pickup tube Just wondering...
I'll be adding a Higher Pressure Pump to my setup here in the next few weeks when I have some down time from work.
I noticed my new pump has a 2nd hole but the pickup tube only has one bolt...
wondering if anybody makes a piece that horseshoes around the pickup tube and uses the 2nd bolt hole for extra sealing pressure and better alignment.

Don't know about that, but I put about 3 o-rings (not OEM o-rings!) on my pickup tube instead of relying on the one. They stacked up beautifully and when I checked them in the pump the stack came out of the pump by 1/2 an o-ring's width, so when the pickup tube was bolted on the stack was compressed as well. It was a weekend thrash, and I understand the factory o-ring is larger than most and should seal adequately.

You mean like this:
I was going to make some, but didn't get enough interest in them to have them cut out. I was going to do them in two pieces, have them waterjet cut & weld together.
I had it setup so it could cut one big long constant path without re piercing the metal (except for all the holes), then they could be broke off like plastic model parts & a quick weld & they are done.
