Boy, after the investment in plating (never inexpensive) I am pretty reticent about distrubing the plating or risking cracks in the pot metal. I use good ol' JB weld on things like that. I abrade the plating with a little Dremel wire wheel attachment to insure a good bond, and clean with laquer thinner before the join-up. I have drilled and tapped holes as in Howard's description, but done so before sending out for plating.
