Got the oil cooler taps in today, finally, and I gotta say, it was pretty simple, and relatively inexpensive.

I used 1/8" 90 degree to 1/4" barb fittings found at any hardware store. I had planned on using a brass plug of the same size to block the passage in the middle, but it wasn't long enough to fully seal off the opening. I decided to use an 8x1.25mm bolt instead, as I had them lying around and I already had the taps. I did go all the way through the case, and that means no going back, unless I want to buy another case, or get really creative about plugging the holes.

I am/was nervous about the fittings, and the amount of aluminum left around the threads since these are tapered fittings, but I followed the instructions I found for the old Derale kit online, and they seem to fit rather well. I decided on a whim to run the cooler towards the back of the swing arm, mainly to avoid kicked up debris.

Added the last pic for any doubts about my sig line.
