So, I made my own out of available aluminum parts and it measures about 2" OD and about 4 inches tall with a drain on the bottom. It works good too. If there is enough interest and Marve would like, I will send him a drawing and picture for inclusion in the Lancair Network News along with some instructions. You need to find a friend with a TIG welder though. Prop repair shops will be able to do the welding. Making your own oil/air is not rocket science. Of course, if you can find an existing air/oil separator that fits, go for it.
