I have not done a pressure feed conversion, but I have fitted external filters which require half the process you need. I removed the plug in the flywheel housing at the back of the gallery and using the existing thread as a guide and using a taper BSP tap I threaded the back of the gallery. It can then be plugged with a standard BSP plug loctited in place. I cut off the square on my plug and cut a screwdriver slot. The taper threaded plug will form a good seal in the taper threaded gallery, especially with loctite in the thread. Because I have been feeding the oil into the front of the gallery to the jets I have not needed to plug that end, but I believe the same technique will be satisfactory.
