So, I keep finding parts I've purchased over the years. After selling my pineapple racing dual egt setup, I was a bit depressed about not having a way to monitor egts. Well, I hit the jackpot and found these in yet another bin of parts:
Purchase date in 2009, no wonder I forgot about them. lol. I can hardly remember what I had for lunch yesterday. 
Time to start drilling and tapping the stock twins manifold. I also found the signal conditioners in the same bin. It look like I paid $35 each back in 2009, but they are now only $20 each at 3rd Brake Flasher.
Also, reading up on The Sensor Connection, I have found that they claim that shortening the lead from the sensor up to a few feet should not adversely affect the accuracy. That may or may not be useful depending on how I route everything.
I used a screw driver and a rag to clean the hole out. The tab came out easily on magnetic screwdriver tip. (Must br some high quality stainless :-P )
The stud hole does not come in contact with a coolant passage. It is an isolated bolt hole.
:-) no worries on the doomsaying. The answer is neither the oil pan or a coolant passage. The shavings and tab ended up in my garbage can.

Keeping with the them of drilling and tapping: Dual EGT install on stock twins:
Here is the reference picture I used, thank you to the forum member that originally posted it up. I believe it was Speed of Light iirc.
Chuck Norris is watching you!
Hopefully these last as long as others have had them last. Some have claimed in the 15k miles range. I have not finalized the depth of the probes yet, but there has to be a sweet spot of less restriction in the exhaust flow, whilst still getting a solid and accurate reading. Test fit is showing positive results so far, and I have access to a tube bender should I need to bend the rear sensor a bit more.
Nice!
