looks like its at a good angle ? yes
looks like it will hold ? probbly not. itll rip out the sheet metal soon enough.

you don't want any sort of nut on the inside of the pan... anything can happen and if the nut should somehow come off you could be in trouble.. this is really something you don't wana have to deal with in the first place..
just weld a bung onto the pan and you won't have to think about it again
like phil said the thin sheetmetal on the pan won't hold the threads for long

JB weld x543

load that bitch up! I'd put some on the threads when you screw it in, then a little more around the inside and ouside of it
o and btw, sick looking setup. looks very similar to mine...

I drilled my pan, put the fitting through w/a nut on the back side to hold it in place.
Then I used jbweld and smoothed it over the fitting .
[edit] I should add you need to sand the paint off to the bear metal, and use something like brake clean to get the oil residue off..so the weld has something to bond too....
[/edit]
I put another coat on it, been on there for 3+yrs.
Don't forget to remove the nut once it hardnes.
No leaks, no fuss.

Re: this oil line return ok? (ExVtec)
when i did mine the first time, trying to be cheap and all, i went to home depot and got a 90degree brass fitting, and put it in the pan and jb welded it inside the pan and out. before i put the pan back on, im lie WTF am i doin, this is the shittiest job. so instead took off the fitting and the jb weld, went and got a steel bung and welded it on. i REEEEEALLLY think you should take off the barb fitting and get an AN fitting. you can cap it off instead of taking off your pan if you need to take your turbo off for any reason.
