Greetings,
 
I sent these to Doug offline, but I wanted to make sure I have this correct before either of us starts to drill holes in their housings.  Tracy tried to describe where to drill a hole for an oil return, but I didn't have a housing in front of me at the time to follow along.  In the picture, I have a big + marked in two potential locations.  Actually, it looks like you could put the fitting anywhere in between these two marks as well, but would have to make sure you don't drill into the reinforcing member in the center.  
 
Does anyone see a problem with drilling and tapping a hole here?  What would be the recommended size for the redrive return? 
 
I currently have mine running to the oil drain plug location, and it's working fine, but I'll probably drill and tap the housing and run an aluminum line for the oil drain.  I managed to break my oil filler cap, and already dropped some plastic down into the pan.  Might as well add some aluminum shavings :-)
