Paul, you must provide a continuos path for the oil as did the filter. You
can block the two holes with a plate - provided the plate has been drilled
such that it provides a path between the two "O" ring holes. You can drill
most(but not all) of the way through a block of aluminum perpendicular to
the two holes, then drill the two holes location through into the first
drilled hole. Then tap and block the end of the first drilled hole to make
a path. Lots of other approaches as well, but this is probably the simplest
and can be done with just a drill press - no mill/lathe needed.

Subject: [FlyRotary] oil filter holes
If I were to run an inline oil filter in the line going to the oil cooler,
could I just remove the original oil filter and base and cover it with an
aluminum plate to plug the two O-ring holes? Or does the oil need to come
out of one hole and into the other for some reason? Thanks in advance
