try thinkauto (mocal UK) they do just about everything, all you really need to know is what oil filters will fit on your engine and you are sorted.

Demon Tweeks would probably have one if you were stuck. Could try cross referencing the oil filter at a motor factors and see what other cars have the same filter and then trying to source a sandwich plate for something more common

I'd recommend Think Automotive too. They manufacture a lot of parts and really know their stuff. Been down there a couple of times to get odd old things sorted.

I got one for my Golf from Rallydesign, went for the mocal one with a 85 degree thermostat in it, helps the car warm up quicker as oil only flows through the cooler when it hits that temp or higher. www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/default.phpOn the site they only list the non-thermostat ones, but if you order one you can specify to get the thermostat one but it's about twice the price.

Sorry to thread jack but it's along the same lines.............
Anyone know where you can buy a remote oil cooler thermostat unit?
Thermostat on the Opel straight six 24V engine is integral with the timing cover
Only one temperature stat is available 107 Deg C and IMHO and as a result of recent engine failures that is way too high!
Temporary cure has been to remove the stat and be very carefull when the engine is cold but it takes far longer to warm up as a result and I'd like to put some sort of temperature control in the circuit if I can....
PS to keep the thread slightly on track - I have a Monza sandwich plate - if thats the right size for what you need Racer86 - screws onto the filter mount and then the filter screws onto that - thermostat controled and with an in and out pipe mounts.
I gues you just need to compare oil filter thread and dimensions
