Beehive to FM Oil Cooler Swap ('83 12a)
 
So I am in need to swap my old school beehive oil cooler on my 12a to a front mount oil cooler. I have found a couple threads on the matter with the best one being: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-arch...p-pics-478521/

Being as this thread is archived I just want to ask the question of what the part below is called and what the part number is. I can handle getting an oil cooler an lines and whatnot fitted, that part is alright. I am just wondering where I could find one of these adapters (which I believe is a stock part from an FC and should be easy enough to find).

and before anyone makes the comment "just keep the beehive one it works fine!!!!"... I am swapping the 12a into an e30 shell and the beehive cooler interferes with the brake master cylinder/booster so that isn't really an option. Instead of deleting/moving my brake booster I just want to swap to a front mount cooler which seems like the much simpler option (and an upgrade anyway).

Oil filter pedestal off of a non-beehive 12a or 13b. I don't know enough about the 1986 and later to know if they will work. You can also get some aftermarket ones that have provisions for sensors.
