Nismo Diff Cover question

Nismo Diff Cover question
I was looking into doing a custom diff cooler from my Nismo diff cover. I already sourced all the parts and have and have an idea how much it will cost. My qustion is what size connector or NPT fitting would bolt into the drain/fill plug on the Nismo cover. I searched and saw the ARC setup rickdogg dig but haven't heard from him. Guess he's not on here that often. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

(1) EAR-230308ERL -8 OIL FILTER
(1) EAR-41008ERL OIL COOLER -8AN FTGS
(4) SUM-220846 8AN TO 3/8 NPT ADAPTER (to diff & oil filter)
(1) SUM-220886 -08 45 SWIVEL HOSE END (to drain hole)

(4) SUM-220890 8AN HOSE END STRAIGHT (to pump and filter)
(1) TIL-40-524 OIL COOLER PUMP
(1) SUM-230810 S.S. BRAIDED HOSE-8 10FT
-NISMO Diff Cover (already had installed)
-Replacement Diff Fluid of your choice. I will used Motul 90PA.
-Allen wrench to pull bolts from diff cover.
-AN tools, if you have them
-Brackets, bolts, steel mesh etc whatever you need to custom make your cooler bracket and get it
installed in the perfect location and have it protected.
- Tool to cut the hose neatly
Few things I kept it mind:
(1) There is not enough room to install a big cooler. Went with decent size, especially being lowered
(2) Protection from debri. (rocks, diapers, road kill)
(3) Position that it can be seen from there rear (not too hidden) and can get airflow
(4) Not to use too much hose. More hose, bigger cooler, more fluid.
(5) Location. Angle
(6) How and where to position the pump
(7) On/Off swith with inline fuse (where to mount)
Design sketch.lol

Not the grande finale yet. I set it up, took a few pics, then took it apart for more pics. Overall, I think it was simple to do. I used a dremel and cutting wheel to cut the hose and Earl's grease for the hose/fittings. What do you think? Any comments?....
Keep it or go back the drawing board??
