Mine is a TR3 but should apply. I bought an ugly pipe fitting from Home Depo=
t and welded it to the pan. Ugly but way cheaper than an $88 fitting.=20

The only thing I'd do differently is locate it better. I did this all on the=
 bench and did not realize the fitting was located in the same space as the b=
leed fitting on the clutch slave. Makes bleeding the clutch a little more di=
fficult.=20
