Rep Power: 423

I don't know what its called, which obviously doesn't help my looking.
There exists a fitting, it seems to be popular for tapping oil pans for things like return lines, you drill a hole, and the fitting has an outside part and an inside part. The outside part looks like a sensor bung (sometimes its male, sometimes its female) and the inside part looks like a nut (it basically is). Both parts have a deformable gasket/washer on them so you put the outside one in the hole and tighten it down with the inside one, and the gaskets sandwich around the pan and seal the hole.

Does anyone know what the hell this thing is? And where I can find one?

Thats kinda close.... the ones I've seen don't have allen screws.... its just like a hollow bolt with a nut. But that's along the lines.

From other sites, I've seen people referring to summit racing, as the place to get oil pan fittings.
