Subject: [FlyRotary] 2nd Gen = Oil=20 Pickup

I am trying to adapt the 2nd gen oil pan to the Renesis = using=20 Fred's plate.
So far so good.
I am using the 2nd gen pickup as=20 well. I have fabbed a stand off out of
1/2 inch = aluminum to=20 compensate for the plate thickness, so the height is
fine.
Now = the=20 problem. There is a few degrees difference in the mounting = flange
on=20 the two pickups which works out to about 3/4 inch at the end of=20 the
pickup. This causes the pickup to hit the cover over the = oil=20 level switch
in the 2nd gen pan.
I need to either bend the = tubing on the=20 pickup or modify (cut) the cover
over the switch.
If I bend the = tubeing,=20 I plan to fill the tube with sand to prevent crushing
and squeeze = the bend=20 out slightly in a vise while heating with a torch.
I do not know if = cutting=20 the switch cover would provide the necessary
clearance even if I = did=20 it. I still need to check this out.

Does anyone have any = guidance=20 here. Which option do you like and how would
you go about=20 it?

BTW... I plan to seal the hole in the bottom of the pan = where the=20 engine
mount goes by sandwitching JB Weld between two large area = 1/4=20 washers held
together with a 1/4 inch bolt.
The two holes on the = edge of=20 the pan I will seal by filling the holes in
Fred's plate with JB=20 Weld.
Does anyone have a visually cuter = idea?
