actually, I was just thinking about it and if I threaded the outside of a piece of copper brake pipe, then flared one end, and used o rings and washers on either side of the hole, and then screwed a nut down on the whole mess. I should be golden. I might even have all the bits needed for this and I do have the tools. May have solved it. anyone know of a better solution?

Well this is the easy answer, but its boring and ugly.

I dont trust glue to not fall apart. What I am thinking is to thread the outside of a bit of pipe, flare one end of it. Then drill a hole in the big charge pipe and pass my new small one thru the hole from the inside so it wont fall out because of the flare. Stick an o-ring, then a washer, then a nut, and tighten it down. This way there is nothing to get sucked in under vacuum.
And then once I discover it leaks and or rattles apart, just open up the hole and use the ugly fitting pictured above.
