I'm building a motor that was previously dry sumped.. i want to go back to the wet sump, but the dipstick tube hole has been tapped and plugged. What are my options here?

I could drill the case oversize, and fab a bushing, but it's already pretty thin where it was threaded... another option i was thinking about was epoxying the tube in... don't really like either one of those ideas though..

It's a Mexican AS41 mag case, w no provision for the T3 tube.

If you have a universal case with the hole for the type 3 dipstick you could use one of those adapters.
