    welding them works good but here are some tips. if you spot weld with a mig then tape off the pick up and the pump body outlet to keep out the spatter i wire wheel the body off were it was welded so it clean of any bits of steel that may fall in the pump pick up then i blow it off before i take any of the tape off . brazing works but it gets the pump very hot and you need to take the oil pump apart so you do not kill the spring and you need to get all the flux glass of the brass joint. what i use and works the best is tig welding and i tape the pick up and body to but there is not much of any spatter S steel filler rod works good to tack the pick up on and when done and cool i wash the pump and blow out and run clean oil thru or fill the oil pump with lithium grease-lubeaplate with the botom cover off the oil pump oh when driving the pick up in the pump body do not do it on the engine lay it on a phone book and drive it in this way you will not hurt the body of the pump body that can start a crack in the pump body and the pump and pick up will be in the bottom of the oil pan
