The end of the pickup tube extends through the spacer and then through the top of the filter screen. The spacer is wedged above the screen and keeps the end of the tube from ever bottoming out in the screen housing. That leaves a gap between the end of the tube and the bottom of the screen assembly for filtered oil to flow into the tube.
Wondering why they didn't have you make that bottom plate extend further back and weld a short peace of angle to the back plate then run a few bolts threw the angle into the back of the extended bottom plate.
I’m learning a lot, so I’m glad you made the series based on the Hummel plan even though I’m planning to use the Better Half plan from Leonard.
How does the oil get into the pickup tube ? . wont the spacer block the end of the Tube ..

You could definitely do that but Hummel just probably thought it wasn't necessary.
