Has anyone fabricated an oil pickup tube for their flathead from scratch? I have an 8BA with a center sump pan (been identified as a '53 pass car pan I believe) and the only pickup tube I can find is a truck sump for the pan with the pickup at the back. Before I cut up the one I have, I'm considering making my own from scratch. Maybe even stainless.

Any ideas or suggestions?
