Default Re: Adding a remote brake resevoir onto firewall

I now have the brake fluid hose from speedway and the two hose barb fittings. Today I drilled and tapped the cap but now I need to fill these two breather holes. My thought is drilling them out just a bit to assure the hole is clean new metal, then inserting copper wire that's snug and then soldering it. I seem to remember heating something made of pot metal and watching it flatten into a molten puddle right before my eyes. I need some guidence here. Thanks.
