I have Marie's old sumps in the garage for this very purpose.

I was thinking along the lines of welding a boss into them.

Thats your only real option, of course you need to put one on each!

According to Mr Sassanach, he's never seen a blocked one...

I think there would be some benefits in a drain plug, bu either way I don't intend to touch my ATF for a long, long time - I hate the stuff ;D

Think you would be better braising a sump plug boss on rather than welding it
