I'll have to take a good look and see if there is enough material to drill and tap. As far as the Devcon is concerned you may be correct. Would it be best to pour it in small amounts and let it fully cure between additions or best to pour it in one large sum? I guess the epoxy chemically cures and does not require air?

If I poured it in small amounts it would probably be best to roughen up the layers before adding additional ones.

If anyone has actually done this then please advise

The hole below the ports on the intermediate housings is the one that may be tricky. I'm going to have to get the opinion of a machinist. There is plenty of room to drill and tap a hole above the ports.

 

What do you think of this stuff?

That seems like some really good stuff but I'm not sure about the curing process:

"In order for Hi-Temp Lab-metal to completly harden after a 24 hour air dry time, it must be exposed to a minimum temperature of 425ºF for a period of at least one hour depending on thickness of application."



Wouldn't that high temperature possibly warp the housing?
