I believe he drills out the brass plug from the pan side of the rear housing, then uses a long 3/8 inch bit to drill through the oil gallery at the top of the housing to interconnect the gallerys. That allows him to machine off the stock oil filter pad and plug the holes. You may still remove one of these plugs and replace with a fitting to provide oil for your redrive.
