You say believed you lost the "T" fitting in flight.  Did you check the
Velocity high speed rotating strainer that's attached to the engine to see
if it was detected, evidenced by leaving 'memory marks'?  Idle curiousity:
Can anything fall off the plane's fuselage without going through the prop at
rotation speeds or above?

Well, let's see; at 120 mph that's 176 ft/sec - so it takes about 85 msec to
travel 15 ft.  If you drop something from the nose gear well, it will travel
downward a max of about 30 - 35 in. before the prop goes by.  It might clear
the prop.

Just thinking out loud, check my math.
