915 cooling help

I've searched and found some great info on setting up a cooler for my 915 but still have a few questions. As it sits I will be picking up a Tilton or similar pump, some braded hose a small cooler along with a gauge and sending unit for peace of mind. The cooler will be mounted to the engine lid, or possibly in the left rear fender. The remaining questions are:

-I've read about using a spray bar, where can I get one of these? Are modifications needed to the case to use one? The only thing I've found was $$$, from an RSR.

-If I dont use a spray bar what's the best location to install a return to the trans, at the r&p? at the gear sets? Or does it really matter, the cooler oil is what's important?

-What is the best way to install the pickup and return bungs? Drill and tap the case to thread on an AN fitting? What fitting? Should one be welded on? If not welded, threaded and backed up w/ a nut and locktite?

This trans it mated to a 3.6 in a car that will see ~monthly track use so I want to set it up properly and hopefully have it last for a long time. The wevo internal gate seems like a nice mod, are there other internal mod's to strengthen the box I should consider 'while I'm in there'?

Thanks for any assistance!
