oil temperature sender

In addition to a topic started earlier on:
http://www.germanlook.com/Forums/sho...5&pagenumber=1
I`ve been thinking the best place to mount my sender, and came to a conclusion that a good place to measure the temperature is right after the oil-cooler.
This way tou get to know that is the cooling sufficient enough to bring down the oil temperature when passing onwards to the bearings.
I have this adapter-sandwich-plate under my stock cooler for routing the oil to an external cooler for added cooling, and I think I won`t be needing it anymore this fall because the outside temperatures arent that high anymore.
So I tought of installing the sender to the exit-side of the sandwich-plate and plugging the other connection, so that the oil would only go trough the stock cooler.
But wich one of the connections is the entrance and wich one the exit???
If someone has one of these plates separate from the engine, I would be grateful if you`d checked this thing for me.
Here is a link to CB`s site showing the adapter-plate I`m talking about:

The outlet twards the front of the car is out, the rear hole is in to the bearings. I just rebuilt my engine and checked this with air pressure, because I have a takeoff plate which I won't be using.

Thats the way oil passages are in the case: the rear one comes from the pump and the front one goes to the bearings.
But when the my adapterplate is mounted between the holes in the case and the stock cooler, the hose fittings are like one on the left and the other on the right, looked from behind of the car.
Are there different looking plates on the market?
