Default Oil pump return fitting question

I am putting together this custom and I moved the oil filter to the rear of the bike. Now I need an oil pump adapter that will route the return line backwards instead of foward to the stock location. Does any one make bolt on adapter to replace the stock lower oil pump casting? The stock one cannot be simply turned 180* becuase holes are offset. I really don't want to have a bunch of fittings put together to turn the hose around toward the rear, ANY HELP??? Motor is stock HD crate 80" evo- 1999. Thanks!

since you can't rotate the fitting in the OEM pump you may need to upgrade to and S & S pump which should give you what you need.

I prefer to keep the stock pump. Any one else got any ideas? Thanks. Howard
