Default FE Remote oil filter threads - help please

Hi guys,

So I have my remote oil filter, painted black as in the pix. Obviously, to connect the oil pipe(s), I have to us a male to male coupling and an AN 10, 90 deg or135 deg elbow.
I can't quite get my head around the threads where the yellow arrows are. Are they normal AN 10, in which case how do you seal the thread as there is no machined face on the casting, now power coated black?
I've tried a taper coupling 1/8 NPTF, but that won't even go in.
Does anybody know whether the male to male couple is tapered on one side and what the thread that goes into the casting is?
