Pin,
Unless you are ragging it around a track - Or in California - No need for a oil cooler.
They came out of the factory without them.
I took mine off a few years ago.

What do you need to do to the two oil feeds from the engine
Can you just buy blanking bolts

no....

there is the original part which links the two outlets and houses the oil pressure switch. you can't just blank them off.

i'd assume john browse or someone similar has one................

or maybe someone on the site has a spare.

If you are referring to the part you need to replace the oil cooler take offs then it is the OIL PRESSURE SWITCH HOUSING you need .
The bypass valve is a different item and is located inside the engine .
Either way both these parts from other z9/1000 kickstart equipped engines are common throughout the range.
