Mine is a TR3 but should apply. I bought an ugly pipe fitting from Home Depot and welded it to the pan. Ugly but way cheaper than an $88 fitting. 

The only thing I'd do differently is locate it better. I did this all on the bench and did not realize the fitting was located in the same space as the bleed fitting on the clutch slave. Makes bleeding the clutch a little more difficult.

On the same page just above is a bloody $88 in line adapter, one of my last choices.
