The only thing is my stocker came with a nipple on the compressor outlet for cruise control. This one..not so much.
What should I watch out for if I wanted to drill and tap it for the nipple? Other than just stuffing rags in there, having a vacuum ready, and making sure gravity promotes any shavings to exit the housing, I'm not sure if there are any tips or tricks. Thanks!
