looking for oil filter adapter -> oil cooler

[wsk]

Hi all, first: many thanks for the earlier help with mirrors and a fuel filler cap for the ongoing Martini Group 2 CSL restoration. I have located those thanks to your generous assistance! Now, on to a different part. I'm looking for a "sandwich" adapter that goes between the oil filter canister and housing, which provides connections for plumbing in an oil cooler. Some versions, like the one in these photos (of Steve Walker's Luigi motor), have a thermostat as well. Any leads appreciated!

Would the factory oil cooler head unit work for you? 176 bucks brand new.
I install these in my hotter cars. Pretty easy. M102, m106 turbo engines was stock and 300 dollars cheaper than the euro non turbo part for no reason at all.

If you mean in conjunction with a spin on filter conversion, these are cheap and easy.

And Bert P here in the board makes spin on adapters, which should allow the use of a sandwich player cooler takeoff. No?
Do you mean something that would retain the OEM canister?
