In theory any steel can be drilled and tapped with the right tools.
Don't see why you couldn't do the same to your kingpins.

I have reamed them and they cut fine. A friend bored the hole bigger and his cut well.

Back when I use to do metal stitching we would use these short solid carbide drill bits and roughing/finish taps in hard castings.
Maybe I'll try that.

There has got to be some type of epoxy or glue that would work.
Just a thought.

Yea, I'm thinking just some good silicone adhesive now.
