Re: Champ Pan Pickup SB40 install
You have two choices, hone the hole in the pump body just enough to get the p/u tube started and or grind/sand around the p/u tube. Then have the tube welded. This happens all the time.

Re: Champ Pan Pickup SB40 install
I taper the lead edge of the pickup tube. Then use one of the clamp on style tools to install. I do like it sealed up with brazing so it doesn't suck air.

Re: Champ Pan Pickup SB40 install
Soooo, sanded with 180 wet/dry then 220 kept checking the fit, got it snug with about 1/8 left to go in, then kinda pressed it in rest of way. The pickup asm has a heavy tab on it that one of the pump bottom bolts goes thru, so used some Loctite on it, don't see the need to weld/braze. Took a while to fit it up though. but got it done.
