You can block the two holes with a plate - provided the plate has been drilled such that it provides a path between the two "O" ring holes. You can drill most(but not all) of the way through a block of aluminum perpendicular to the two holes, then drill the two holes location through into the first drilled hole. Then tap and block the end of the first drilled hole to make a path. Lots of other approaches as well, but this is probably the simplest and can be done with just a drill press - no mill/lathe needed.
