Abstract
An apparatus for and method of mounting a flange to an oil pickup tube uses a bracketed flange mounting (201, 203, and 205). The bracketed flange mounting includes a flange (203) with a flange extension (205) in connection with a bracket (201) that is mounted to an oil pickup tube (101) between its two ends. The bracketed flange mounting (201, 203, and 205) may couple to an engine crank case or oil pump inlet in the same way as prior assemblies without a bracketed flange mounting, thus no retooling of any other part of the engine is required.
