Sandwich Adapter Fittings
I learned at 100+ mph this weekend that I need new fittings that connect the external oil cooler lines into the sandwich adapter below. This was installed on the car when I bought it, so I am not familiar with it. Where can I get new fittings?

You should be able to get AN-10 fittings from Summit, JEGS, etc. I had a similar adapter (it didn't have the oil filter mount on the bottom) that I used on my C5s and it took AN-10 fittings. A local race shop may have the fittings as well.

Define fittings.
Where is it leaking? I've got a similar setup (using a remote filter adapter instead of the sandwich). I do 1/2" NPT -> -10 AN fittings like this. From there I goto a -10 double swivel hose end.
Which is leaking? If its the NPT to the sandwich, you remove those, put sealant on the fittings, and tighten down. if its the hose end, you replace that (and probably the lines as well). If its mating surface between the hose end and the NPT adapter you need to inspect the mating cones and make sure they're not scored. If one is, most likely the other is toast as well, and you need to replace both.
Surely theres a local place that stocks Aeroquip, Earls, etc.

you really need to toss the sandwich adapter and get a block adapter from LG, Lingenfelter, Katech, DRM, etc. There just isn't enough room down there for Sandwich setups in my experience.
