You can either broach the aluminum plug for a live axle, or drill a hole pattern into it for dead axle applications (such as if this octagon shaped aluminum plug was bolted directly to your drum).
Here's a photo from the construction of our 2008 robot, which used this octagon aluminum plug. You can click through to the full resolution photo to see it in better detail.

I would recommend using a couple machine screws that go through the plastic into tapped holes on the octagon aluminum hub. Then wrap a hose clamp to make sure its secure. . The hose clamps slipped on one of our robots.
