Canton Oil Pickup 20-055 failure WARNING !!!

Letting all my class racing brother and sisters know of a problem I have now had TWICE over the past 15 years.

Canton oil pump pickup, part # 20-055, the hold down breaks at the bend just next to the oil pump cover bolt. It is bent with too sharp of a radius (very little to no radius, really), and it fatigue fails and the pickup falls off.
Thank GOODNESS in both cases I caught it right away and shut down.

I am going to just weld repair it, and then also go old school and weld the pickup to the pump body.

BEWARE!!!!!!
