The US housings have those tits in the mold. Adding the divider is easy peezy.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. So, how do you swage it? Which tool?

That material is pretty soft, all it takes is round over punch. Careful use of a drift gets er done. You could even use the tits as alignment and use JB weld. I'd prep the housing area first though by carefully sanding through the plating to get to the cast zinc.
