    Thanks

    yes i know you need it to work the way you have it but i was looking at the bracket to work closer to the water pump . more close to the top of the head next to the upper part of pump .if you had the print i could have it cut out for my use or i just lay one out like i have with cardboad

    Let me look at the bracket tonight. It may work if it is turned upside down with the adjuster at the top. It will probably be real close to the pump outlet but it may fit. If it does I may run it like that.
    If it works like that, and you can use it as is, I can have a set laser cut for you.
