Where can I find this inverted oil sump fitting?

This got damaged in removal or shipping.

Aviat wants $280 for basically a -10 AN Tee with a strainer glued into it.

Does anybody have one or know of a reasonable source?

If the strainer is in good shape, I would just order the AN parts from Spruce and remove it from the old "T" and glue it in the new "T".

Inverted oil sump fitting

The strainer is going to be difficult to remove from the old AN10. We have fabricated one out of the appropriate sized aluminum tubing and glued it in the AN -10 fitting with epoxy (slow setting JB weld). We cut the openings out with a wiz wheel on a die grinder and welded a little round cap on the end. It essentially looked the same as the Christen fitting when we were finished.
