Default Oil pump screen retainer

Does anyone know who makes the simple little bracket that retains an oil pump screen onto the oil pump body? I bought one on Ebay last year and now I need another one and cannot find the seller. It was just a piece of sheet metal held onto the pump body by two bolts and it wrapped around the pickup tube, and was held in place by a screw and self locking nut.

Default I made my own. Spot welded it to make sure it held together.

Never had to worry about it failing again. Nice avatar pic, by the way. SCCA? Nothing sounds better than a big V8 on a mile long straightaway at Road Atlanta, except one of the old BRM V-16s on Youtube. Play it through your home speakers.
