Hi Chuck; Welcome to Permies!
In my opinion do not drill into those cylinders.
Good chance you would contaminate them with metal filings. Or just ruin them.
Use a heavy flat plate utilizing the existing tapped holes and O ring location.
Then weld or tap & thread a( JIC ) threaded fitting , use a standard hydraulic hose too connect to that plate.
EDIT) Are those 2 way cylinders (power out and power in?)
Or one way with power out and gravity return?
Also what are you hoping to use these for?
For all your Montana Masonry Heater parts (also known as) Rocket Mass heater parts.
