I realize I am probably over thinking this but I just wanted to run this by you guys and see what you all think. I want to put a drain in my tranny pan and I was just going to get a boss from work and weld it into the pan and find a bolt that fits. Any thoughts? Seems like a no brainer to me?

 

that will be fine, i normally just use a regular nut welded to the pan, and a copper washer on a bolt for the plug...

 

Or you can use one of these for $10 http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BM-80250

 

Get a drain plug and a nut to fit and weld it to the pan. I have done several like that and only about $6 and a friend done the weiding.

 

After seeing Infidels post - I cant imagine doing it any other way.
