Default 3/8" npt oil drain bung

I wanted to weld a fitting to my oil pan for my drain. I got a 3/8" npt fitting, -10 an, with the kit for the pan side. Really don't feel like using jb weld or something. Where can I get a weld in bung for this? I tried atpturbo.com and didn't find anything. Thanks.

You can use a 1/2" pipe.

Use a bulkhead fitting and you don't need to weld at all. http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/P....html

Find a hydraulics shop, bought mine from them for $2.50 and just migged it on.

I think you want something 1/2" NPT (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Some people are making turbo drain flanges with 3/8 npt now.... I personally would suggest a 1/2. Also it's a 1/2 pipe fitting for a -10an hose?

I have multiple different fittings for a 1/2 NPT. I also have a drain flange with a BUILT IN AN10 drain fitting..No more NPT plates to an NPT-AN adapter.

I just needed a female 3/8" npt bung to weld to the pan to accept a threaded brass barb fitting. I went to tunerschoice.com and picked one up. I messed up on the an fitting part, it's a -10 an braided hose I guess. Yeah I wish there was free shipping, $13 after minimum charge and everything for one fitting.
