What to use for oil return fittings in the pan?

The title says it all. What should I use, what size, and where can I get them? All the fittings at my local home depot are brass

I welded 1/2" NPT bungs to the pan. I bought them from the Chassis Shop for about $10 a piece. If you have time, you can just get metal rod, and drill/tap it for the 1/2" NPT fitting.

Cool. I already picked up a set of 3/8" bungs that were only like $.99 from a hydraulic supply place...I'll just go back and get 1/2". Thank ya.
