The original nipples are part of the cooler, they are talking about having the cooler machined to install new nipples. I have a similar problem with my top connection, the threads are now partially striped. Replacing the nipples may be cheaper, but I think I'm going to bite the bullet and replace the entire cooler:

I'm just not interested in adding any more mechanical connections to the oil system.
