-10 AN fittings on valve cover ?

I've been thinking about how im going to do my catch can setup. I plan on using -10 hose and fittings being that I already have a bunch from a previous build. I was thinking of how to get the -10 fittings into the valve cover and what type of ffittings to use. Someone said just to tap the valve cover but I need some more info. Has anyone done something like this?

Quite a few people have done it.

Drill & tap holes, remove baffle to clean out all the excess shavings, reinstall baffle and you're good to go. The cover being magnesium makes it a bit tricky but its a fairly straight forward process.

Will a 1/2" fitting fit in a 3/8" hole that isn't threaded?

Rivits or you can tap the mounting bosses to accept small machine screws.

Check out R/TErnie's first post in his build thread, good details on it there: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/al...4-efr7670.html
