Its similar to what  we did Keith,
Mountain States Automation guys
(lakester called "Boxcar", has gone
226mph on 1052cc in the 1500cc
class, over 205 with 750cc not bad eh Dave??)
are simply some of the best people on
the planet, and have been tremendous
to us from DAY ONE,
anyway, they simply took
some hex sided fittings
and tapped them,
will have to find out specifically
fitting, nothing
special, and they tig-brazed them to my
pipes, presto egt bungs

its way cool to come up with stuff
that isnt store bought

like you Keith, we have been fortunate enough
to have some damn fine aquaintances as well
and thats waaayy cool too

Joe :)
