I seem to recall seeing some pictures of an in-line oil filter that was used on a 13b. Rusty was that yours?  If so, would you please re-post any details/descriptions of the unit?  Approximate size, cost and of course a picture is worth a thousand words. 

 
Hi Paul,
 
Attached is the best picture I have of the filter, and here's a link to the info-  http://www.petersonfluidsys.com/oilfilt.html
 
I got the "400 series w/inlet accessory port", and I'm using the 60 micron element now.  I got mine direct from Petersons, and they were awesome to deal with.  Basically, you tell them what you want, and they'll provide it.  I had them drill and tap the accessory port for 1/8 NPT for a temp sender.  Be aware that the units are so well anodized, that you'll have to solder a ground wire to the sender body to get a good ground to it.   The ends just screw on, so if you want a port on both ends, they can do that too.  They knew mine was for an airplane, and didn't have a problem with it.  Their official statement was something like "we don't recommend our products for aircraft use, however they'd be very well suited to it" :-)
 
Cheers,
Rusty (flying this weekend, probably working next weekend)
