Default Fuel pick ups

I need to have some new fuel pick-ups made for my tank. Two have already broke off and I have a feeling the other two are cracked. The engines run fine at cruise but when opened up the motors surge. I want to have someone make me a two line pickup that will drop into the existing fuel sending hole, same size, same hole pattern. Can anyone make this for me?

all fuel pick ups are not thru the sending hole, not much room there, why not use a H/P screw in pick up ?

what diameter pick up are you using? If you increase your fuel line size did you increase pick up size?

I found a site selling the screw in pick-ups. I think I'm going to go that route, it seems like an easy way to fix the problem.
