Ohhh I'm good.

Two 3/4 inch holes drilled and taped with 1/2 NPT threads. I used a 3/4 hole saw to make the holes. I was about to buy a expensive drill bit when I noticed the hole saws out of the corner of my eye. Much cheaper and just as good IMHO.

Starting the tap was a bit tricky but all went well. I don't know if I'll get to post pics. Thanks
