Actually, most of that cutting really was neccesary to get the nut to fit. As I stated, the stuff to the right of the pic was extra where I lost track of where I needed to cut, but the rest I needed to get a good fit of the nut.
To the previous poster, I used the same JB weld (the stuff with 2 tubes you mix together) for my TB mod with no problems. I just ordered all of the s5 coolant hoses and I need to trace down where the problem in my injector clips is, so I should see within a week or two or so if all of this worked. Keep you fingers crossed, because I have been without my poor rx-7 for a year and a half and I really want her to be running again.

Well, its all nice and hard now, and I think it turned out pretty well. Here is a pic of what it looks like:

Now all I have to do is find my damn primary fuel rail and and I try to get this thing running again.

Another option is to braze it. I've used some aluminum brazing rods (from the local welding shop) with my MAPP/oxygen torch to repair a radiator and they worked brilliantly.

I really need to take some welding classes.... This is one of many times I've wished I knew how to do it. Maybe once I finish my degree I might take an intro class or something.
