I have a 299A with the same aluminum bottom. It is strong enough, but too thin to hold an 8/32" thread for any length of time. I am working on the same problem but wish to retain the wood case. I bought some 1" x 1/8" thick anodized aluminum flat bar and plan to cut 1 1/2" long pieces and rivet then on the inside of the bottom where the feet will screw in. That will give enough "meat" to tap a proper thread.
The chassis is soft aluminum but it sure polishes up nice.
