727 temp gauge

Sorry if I highjacked this thread, but think the info i asked for might be of help to Mark and other's.
What is the best place in the pan to install the fitting so it is out the way of exhaust etc. I have not looked at the fittings but assumed thet would go inside some but not enough to hit anything on the valve body, is that the case?
Also the pan I have only has 2 flat sides, if it needs to go on ribbed side I assumed grind/flat would be necessary?
Can you (or someone) circle where best location would be best to install the fitting.
I also had plans after exhaust goes in to install a cooler with an electric fan.
Was originally going to plum the gauge and cooler at same time. But now will put gauge in pan
So will ask about a cooler in a dedicated thread about it later. But wanted to mention it in case it matters.

I would put it in the rear of the pan. The pan I use had a boss thick enough to drill and tap. You can either weld a bung in the back of the pan, or drill a hole and use a bulk head fitting if there isn’t enough aluminum to run a tap through.
