Default Having the shop tap the girdle for Mase kit

I'm planning on installing my Mase kit over the July 4th long weekend. One thing I don't have the tools for and don't trust myself with is tapping the girdle so I'm having a local shop do that for me.

How do these parts look for running that setup capped off until I do the install?

Is aluminum OK or should the fitting be something more sturdy, brass, stainless?
Are the Mase fittings -10AN? I have them here but I have no idea how to tell.

the mase fittings are -10AN. maybe someone can chime in on what to use to tap the block. i'm going to have a return welded to my oil pan this week for my mase kit so i don't know about what to use for the girdle

aluminum is much stronger than the brass. what you have looks great.

I used a stainless steel 1/2" NPT / -10an adapter, used some permatex gray as a thread sealant, holding up good
