I'd just try it, but I'm afraid it might pop in my face or something. Why not just replace the posts with 4-40 or 6-32 stainless steel bolts and nuts. Drill new holes in the aluminum if needed. Or, use a pop-rivet tool to attach whatever fastner(s) suit you. Or, use small, SS, worm-screw pipe clamps to attach the wire(s) directly.
