To resolve this, one solution would be to use a weldable flange and a ~~male / female adapter~~ to add distance for the suction strainer.

			We have been using a common plumbing union to weld an extended flange for the suction strainer port, but they have been problematic for welding.

	The Return Plumbing did not fit in reality as it did in the Sketchup model. A 45 degree elbow was missing from the BOM and was not ordered for the build. A similar elbow was secured just before the workshop, but it required an additional nipple, extending the hose an extra 1.5" - 2" and if mounted to the bracket as intended, it would intersect the engine oil cooler (not in the Sketchup engine model). For the workshop, we unbolted the oil filter from the bracket and let it hang freely.		The Return Plumbing did not fit in reality as it did in the Sketchup model.

	The resolution would be to use the proper 45 degree elbow and to possibly alter the bracket to be a "T" rather than an "L" and move the oil filter forward by 2" - 3".

The bracket supporting the throttle and keyswitch had already been re-designed to address some prior issues. The steel had already been cut for the workshop, so we rotated the bracket 90 degrees CCW and used only one bolt to secure it to the frame.
