what do you replace the drain holed with up on top when you replce the transom?

The drain hole tubes look to be crimped thru the transom aluminum and wood, I used a die grinder to remove them. What do you replace them with?

Sea-Dog makes the replacement drains that I used and moeller makes the flanging tool used to install them. Drains are cheap, tool is a bit spendy.

Found some new brass spashwell drains, cut them to size, flared them with the ball end of a ball pene hammer and then tapped them down...done!
