Filter inside oil pan

[Bambino]

I have looked in the Shop Manual and can't find no info.

The screen is torn.

Is there a replacement?

How do I repair the screen?

Buy similar copper or brass screen at a good hardware store and just cut & solder a replacement onto the pickup tube.

Or, just wrap a screen bag over the pickup tube and use a wire to secure the top of the bag so it cannot come loose.

I bought some new brass screen from McMaster-Carr and soldered it on myself.  I used solder and a torch.

It comes from McMaster-Carr in sheets like this

I first tried using a MAPP gas torch to solder but it burned thru the screen.

Then soldered the screen to the housing with that big old soldering iron and plumbers acid flux solder paste.

A year later when the motor was finally ready to install the oil pump assembly, there were numerous larger holes in the screen which I assumed were the result of acid flux spots that did not get cleaned off.

I removed and replaced the screen again using rosin core solder.

I used a 50/50 Resin core solder I believe.
