Could I get away with JB Welding the latches on? I don't want to mess with drilling the latches on, since that'd involve having wort in contact with a bunch of o-rings if the fermenter is nearly full, or paying someone to weld them on.
Know any metal workers, specifically some aircraft sheetmetal types?
They could be riveted on, with some stainless solid rivets.
They swell and seal, no O-rings or the like per your concerns.
1/8 dia. rivets would hold the latches from now on.
