I blew the bypass oil filter line returning to the flathead v8 on my 1941 Ford Super Deluxe. Upon closer inspection I discovered the fitting that failed is designed to flow through a bolt that attaches the distributor.

Has anyone seen this type of setup before or is it a 1-off retrofit? Next, I'm trying to determine how to proceed. I'm wondering if there is somewhere I can find a replacement fitting or if I should braise it together or do something else. Looking for some thoughts.
