Engine oil cooler feed line insert.

Does anyone have a photo of the fitting that threads into the block to direct the oil flow to the cooler? I've got one but I don't know if it came from a universal and the British parts book doesn't show it. The one I have is about 2" long and machined as one part including the thread for the block and the thread for the nut of the fitting. It's also waisted to allow oil to get around it over to the port that exits from the side of the Bell housing.

Previous thread. Hopefully it clears up some of your questions.

Thanks Jordan, I even contributed to that and had forgotten all about it! I would still like to get an image of the fitting I have in a parts book! I'm working on a flathead for a friends carrier which needs converting to carrier spec. The cooler return hole has already been drilled but I have to decide if I plug the gallery in the block or turn a new long fitting instead to give me the same result.

Here is another small thread on these parts

That fitting is only waisted as on the V8 it came from there was no cooler return drilled into the block so the horizontal port was used to return the cooled oil into the gallery. All you are doing is preventing the oil going into the main gallery, the long fitting simply does the same job as the grub screw, the one that I'll make will not be waisted as the block already has the cooler return drilled into the main gallery (first post photo). In a UC the horizontal port to the outside world is plugged by design.

Those were the photos I was looking for! Thanks for the second link Jordan.
