Did anyone try to use the lens hood threads to install adapter for using 67/77mm CPL, NP Filter? Thanks

It can work with difficulty. What’s required is a female to female adapter for the polarizer.  The hood threads on the lens are 60mm, the pitch may be slightly different.  Start with a 60mm female to 62mm male step ring and add additional rings to get to the size desired.  Or get a custom ring machined for the task to avoid the unwieldy stacked adapters needed, it’s an impractical solution.

Thanks your advise, I have found a 60mm female to 58mm female adapter and I will buy one to try for using the H&Y revoring.

I use Maven filters.  They're great quality and magnetic.  I have a step up ring (attaches to the filter threads, though) that they make that allows me to use their 67mm filters.  In addition, they have a magnetic hood that can also attach to the filters.  I use a combination of LPL and mist filters at times, or just the LPL which still gives me the abiltiy to rotate the LPL with the hood on.  They LPL has pretty much no color cast, which is why I use it over the CPL and their ND filters also have little to no color cast.   Their magnetic lens caps are also really good.  I leave everything on at all times because the magnetic lens cap is so good.

No affiliation, I just love their stuff and use it with my APO-SL lenses also (which is why I have the 67mm filters).  I'll try to post photos later.
