Optional oil filter

I am working on a couple of projects where I am adding the optional external oil filter to a six cylinder motor. I have most everything I need to add this except the small cast fitting that screws into the block. I believe these are the same for 1961 and 1962 years. I want to keep the factory look for these but can't find the correct fittings. They are about 1.5 inches long have two female fittings and one male fitting that screws into the block. Does anyone reproduce these fittings?

Re: Optional oil filter

Most of the 235 - 261 s that I have seen just had brass fittings 1/8 npt to inverted flare and a brass hose barb with a sleeve (most of these were canadian trucks so maybe they are different)

Re: Optional oil filter

Thanks, I have seen at least a dozen on cars or trucks that I know are factory correct. Every one of them has the cast fitting I described. I will see if I can get a picture.
