And just make sure you make the opening large enough to be able to get a socket on the fitting with the trans in place as if anything ever happed (fitting comes lose, etc.), you can service it without removing the trans. Several people only made the opening just large enough to install the flange cover with the fitting installed, but not enough room to get a socket on it or turn it, which means you are pulling the trans out to get at it.

Always plan ahead...............

Yes, I plan to make the notch a millimeter or two larger than the socket, so marking the cutout will need to be accurate.
