lol...just drill the right size hole and thread it in there (use a little teflon tape if you want i guess)...the fitting is never submersed so it doesnt really need to be sealed like crazy imo

drill a hole about the same size as the fitting screw that bitch in there and seal it up with jb weld works perfect and its so easy.

I used a 1/2 conduit knock out and welded a piece of drain pipe in from the Saab return line I had.

Drill bit and stealth mode feed/return kit...came with what I needed...I also brazened the fitting with a torch and some silver sodder around the edges...teflon tape was used and the stuff provided from stealth(obviously)
