I want to buy or put togeather a weldless bulkhead for my sight glass kit. Its a 1/2 thread on the elbow. Is the bulkhead-only option from greatbargians a good deal? or is there a better option?

You might be able to get the the elbow itself to seal with two locknuts and an Oring. I'd try that first.
 
I did not need to buy a separate bulkhead. Just a short piece of 1/2" polycarbonate tubing from TAP Plastics, a 3/8 compression X 3/8" MIP brass elbow with compression nut, two SS washers (one in, one out), some O-rings, and a 3/8" FIP brass bushing to secure it in the hole I drilled. It does not leak and was cheap.
