Thanks Theo,
I can easily see destroying my manifold doing that myself. I would take it
to a machine shop for that. It would be so much easier just to have a
proper fitting adapters.

Hi Duke,
You might have to get a pair of NPT taps, 3/8 and 1/2"... then re-thread the
manifold and your adapter until you get the depth of engagement that you
want. Otherwise you'll end you way overtightening things and potentially
breaking something.
