I think a knurl or pressfit might work but I was happier with a thread and red loctite. Installation was simple one the hole was drilled and tapped. I also didn’t want to weld to the cast iron. My friend even did it without a tapered reamer, but you could replicate this at home with a drill press and the right reamer which are available for our tapers
