Aluminum can readily be welded to aluminum, and steel can be welded to steel. A local welding shop should have no problem with either of the two pans.

you still tap the pan, but you insert this fitting, then use 3 bolts and bolt it into the other side of the pan. It sanwiches the pan, then you put silicone inbetween the pan and the fittings. here a lil diagram to give you an idea (hopefully)
