I have a 98 civic, and the oil pan is aluminum, I was wondering where can i get a kit to change the used greddy rubber oil return line to a steel braided one. I want the return fitting to look like this one, where I can drill a hole and bolt it in, insteading of welding. Here is a picture, look at the oil pan. Thanks

I would not suggest just drilling it and putting it in. But if that is what you want to do, then you can use a "bulkhed AN" fitting. They sell them at Jeg's or Summit Racing. It is the same type of fitting that you see coming out of a fuel cell (the male AN sticking out). The reason why I say not to really use them, is the seals are not the greatest, and I have seen them leak before. If you are on the Bay Area, I know of a few fab shops that would not charge more than like $50 to weld an aluminum male bung on there for you.

Yup, like SFWD 1934 said you would not want to just screw in a fitting. The best thing to do is get a weld on fitting and have a shop welded in. The guys that did mine TIG welded it on and return shipped the oilpan for only $40. You could do a bulkhead type fitting but if you dont apply the sealant correctly it will leak oil. Check out the thread below to give you an idea of what both types of oil drain setups will look like.
