Steel tees are around, but you need it on the filter due to vapor lock. Heated filter "boils" the fuel (thanks to alcohol laced fuels)

I suggest replacing the stock bypass filter AND adding a clear filter after it and before the carb.  Then there would be no need to find or use a clear bypass type filter.

Great suggestion - and a simple solution!
