Oil cooler bypass

I've acquired a landrover 101 oil pump cover so I can reposition the oil filter to get clearance for a bigger radiator on my hotrod. The 101 pump cover has ports for oil cooler pipes and although currently blanked off I've been told I'll need to fit a bypass between the ports.
Has anyone done this and if so what size and type of fittings did you use and where did you get them?
Thanks

An update for anyone in a similar position. 2 domestic radiator tails, a 90 elbow and a 90 tap connector, job done.
