It's a high rpm circle track 360. when you see the pic I am committed to where I am at. I am going to set the depth (probable 1/8") & weld it then reinstall the screen into the circular slit & tamp it down to crimp it in place. Thank you for (most  ) of the replies. I'd like to weld 3 or 4 nuts of the right thickness on the bottom of the pickup to set the clearance exactly where I want it plus have everything supported.
If you are going to go with the set up you have pictured at least change to iron 90"s instead of galvanized. And if I was to do that that pick up ,I would get some tubing bent up , that iron pipe is just to heavy and will crack at the threads. I've welded up pickups similar to yours using 3 different pick ups to get the bends needed. never broke. Just my opinion.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
