Bulkhead fittings and other nitrous questions

Who makes a bulkhead fitting for my nitrous blowoof valve to connect to? Also should i use a bulkhead fitting for my nitrous line to run it out of the interior to the main line under the car?
Any other rules i should know about routing my lines and everything to make the car NHRA legal? i want to run at RT.66 (which has very hard tech inspection) and not have any hassle.
Where have u guys run ur purge outlets on 3rd gens? I want to do it between the back of the hood and the winshield but the wipers take up most of that empty space except for the far corners. I want to run double outlets (got to make it look cool) so any idea where to run them to?
Finally, who makes a decent purge kit that wont cost an arm and a leg? Has to fit an NOS 05151 kit.
Thanks

I'll answer one of your questions.

All a purge kit is is a N20 solenoid,an adaptor (same as ones used for putting guages on), a fitting for the solenoid and some brass line w/ compression fittings. If you find a good deal on a n20 solenoid, you can get the rest of the parts really cheap. If you want to make a dual outlet purge you need to get a T-fitting compression fitting and more tubing than any kit gives you. The best place to get this stuff would be some kind of specialty fitting store. All purge kits are pretty much the same (NX, N20, Nitrous works), you don't really need a good solenoid for a purge (not worried too much about flow rate), so get the cheapest one you can find.

Hey Kyle! How do you plan to mount the bottle? I have been thinking how to mount mine and was curious what you were planning on doing. I would like to hide it inside of the removable panel that covers the spare tire and jack. With my luck I'll have a flat the first time Im out with the bottle and not be anywhere near home! LOL!!!

Mike
