Last time I looked you could get the copper mesh from Classic & Exotic, though many just use a similar mesh sold for kitchen cleaning. Methinks "Chore Girl" is the trade name.
classicandexotic.com As to your other unanswered question
I am also assuming the flow direction is in from top out the bottom onto the timing gear? Is this correct? Yes, the pressure feed to the filter is from the front of the left (driver's side) cylinder head to the side of the canister (at the rear), and the return is from the bottom to above the timing chain. Don't forget to clean the sludge out of the cone at the bottom of the canister when you change the cartridge. And check the rubber gasket fit carefully, these filters can be leaky with the wrong gasket and some of the cartridges come with 2 different rubber gaskets depending on application - make sure you select the correct one. And if you have the conical stamped steel lid, DON'T overtighten, you can distort the lid. If you have the domed cast steel lid you're less likely to have that problem.
