Message	Manifolds. Cobalt or Moly-dipped bit makes drilling the holes a cinch. Tapping took a little work (see last pics). Use lots of lube and work it back and forth - forward a bit and then reverse it a bit. (maybe play a little Barry White too). When the going gets tough, switch to a heavy duty handle, or a small crescent wrench. Here are some pics of the spot Woody is talking about. MSP against "chinese metal of unknown composition" - LOL
