I purchased the perfect launch cover and it has the drain plug in it, I would think you could probably drill a hole and braze weld a nut inside the original and plug it that way. That may work just as well.

I just figured I spend anuf $$ on the rear parts I may as well go all the way . It may save it for a while longer if I get on it too much. Some guys say its a good to have .

They sell a kit to make a drain in a trans pan, I wonder if you could use that?

Summit has a number of off the shelf options if your diff has a flat enough spot to install it.
