hey thanks for the compliment pressure. ya the coolant flanges turned out perfect. but i had a problem with the oil one. being that the an fittings were so huge being a size 12 and all i had to angle to feed line so that it won't collide with the return line allowing me to screw it on. then i jb welded the fitting and she is strong as heck. as long as it works. ya i'll see what i can do i think i have some scrap aluminum left over. it's 1/2" thick. what i suggest to do though is welding the fittings in there but aluminum is pretty hard to weld but i think that would be the most efficient way cuz pipe thread really sux to tap.
