   but seems a bit expensive to me what do you guys think?
   
   it only the little pipe part... was thinking about maybe going to a plumbers shop or somewhere see if they do anything like this?

   IMO I'd look to get something welded on as opposed to bolted on, as if it comes undone/leaks there goes your engine if you lose a lot of oil.
   
   I'd try and make it as reliable as possible if it was me.

   raunchz, what is the sump made out of? i can weld something onto it if its goin to be better than that, will just get a pipe and drill a hole in the sump and weld it there if its going to be better

   god knows what its made out of - steel? Some sort of alloy? I really dont know tbh!
   
   A lot of people have welded tubes onto the sump for the oil return so welding it can't be a problem.
   
   I just think, imagine if that bolt come undone - you'd spurt oil out everywhere. It would be in the back of my mind all the time if it was me

    made of mild steel.
    
    Due to the thickness i would suggest tig welding, or brazing a nut to the inside of he sump.
