The hole had an internal O ring groove.
The end of the return pipe had a lug on the side with a hole in it, and
a small screw went through it into the sump to hold it in.

Just taken the sump apart ready for machining the oil drain. I can't
get a 1/2 BSP thread in the boss (same place as Jim's RS Turbo photo)
so will have to go for 3/8 BSP, but am a little concerned about the
reduced diameter. On the picture you posted Jim it shows a smooth hole
- how was the pipe fastened in, is it just a press fit and any loctite
used? If I use the press fit route, should be able to manage about
11/ 12mm for the return. Am also going to weld a spare return with
blank at the top of the steel bottom sump as a contingency for any
future needs!!
Thanks
