Cool Jim. Did you weld tubular nipples on them for the lines?

They are so thin that I think if you were to hit those glue cans with a torch they'd go "poof." I was quite shocked they endured the powdercoating, but my coater knew what we were dealing with.

Understood but how did you attach tubes to them?

After powdercoating I drillled a 5/16" hole in the bottom, used a 90* bulkhead fitting from Aeromotive, along with crush washers and an AN nut inside. I then used AN fittings and black braided hose over to the Wilwood master cylinders.
