[Shop-talk] oil pump screen...mesh size?

[Steve Hammatt Mount Vernon WA USA]

I need to make an oil pump screen for an antique
automobile.  I'm planning on creating a brass woven wire
cloth tube (soldered along the seam) and then soldered
to two brass washers, one at each end, to hold its shape.
I'm interested in anyone's experience with the woven brass
wire cloth and related mesh size suitable for an oil pick-up
screen.  Super thanks.
