Paul, that is where my sump tank is located, on the firewall below the spar opposite side from the engine. Originally it was on the engine side, so I made it out of steel. Holds about 1 gallon and has two Mazda fuel pumps inside, fuel return is to this sump tank like Ed's. The selected main flows to this sump tank by gravity so it is mounted low.

Maybe you can find a local welder in your area that can weld aluminum. I found a guy near me that does. I take water pump parts, intake manifold parts, etc. to him for welding. I just tell him they are for my RX-7. Design it yourself, get the sheet aluminum, cut out the pieces, and take it to the welder. I think 6061 is good for welding but 2024 is not.
