Thank you. I had to use a little cutting, prying and pulling to get the fittings out, there just pressed in. The I use a 3/8 pipe tap for the smaller hole and a 1/2 pipe tap for the larger hole. I didn't have to do any drill to the holes. The 3/8 hole was a 3/8 npt to -10 AN fitting. The 1/2 hole was a 1/2 npt to -12 AN fitting.
I just took my time tapping the holes out didn't want to take a chance of cracking and breaking the aluminum. I was harder to get the old ones out then to put the new ones in. They don't want to come out very easy.

Thanks again for the words. Have a good day,
Robert
