My solution was to drill holes and forcefully thread in two long M5 bolts. I then silver soldered them in place and cut them down to use nuts in securing my water bottle cage... Talk about a HACK... Ha

None of my Franken Bikes are "Wall Hangers"... But they are ridden and PROVEN...

As Quoted by one of our tribe: "Steel Is Real", I would not do this on anything but a steel bike.
