post photo of the dent, maybe it is repairable

Can I buy a replacement filter fitting? I can't get the dent out as behind it are all the cooling fins.
ebay would be a good place to start; send query to bike breakers on there.

or what about a sandwich plate and use a remote filter type arrangement? I intend to fit a oil cooler so do I still need the water cooling if using a oil cooler?
if I understand you, then yes, you definitely want water cooling if engine had that originally!!! cooled oil is secondary to water cooling.

depends on the filter diameter and thread; dunno about bike filters but car oil filters have diameter sealing ring although filter can be larger diameter and use 2 pretty standard threads; from memory M18 and 3/4 UNF so it is easy to get sandwich plate. And as long as you can get the matching hollow bolt you are sorted.
