Boatman,
The correct way to do it is to remove the pump from the engine, take the cover off the pump, remove the gears, install the screen and check it to see if it is the proper distance from the bottom of the pan ( about 1/2" ) ....... then have it TIG welded or brazed. Then clean it and put it all back together. Then reinstall it on the engine.
