That pan is pretty thin, welding might not be your best bet.

I didn't notice he said that. Get one of these, no welding required.

here's your drain plug part numbers. price is anywhere from $3 to $20 for pretty much the same thing.

some location options (mostly on the bottom). unless you cut/grind off all excess height of the drain plug tube above the locknut, avoid the area under the solenoids.

i put one in a jeep awhile back and put the plug on the side to avoid it dragging. you don't have to drain all the fluid, just most of it to eliminate the mess when dropping the pan.

Nothing wrong with that one either. I just don't like the Dorman ones because the center plug is regular thread and uses a gasket. But that one and the B&M, the center plug is pipe thread.
