I'd use Martins idea above .. but turn it upside down (so there is no interior lip to stop all the old oil coming out) and make it bigger in diameter so you use the same drain plug.
You will need to take the bare part to a machine shop and let them work on it. Glueing it might work .. depends on being firm enough to resist the torque of the bolt being done up and undone. Or you could have it wielded in ... on the inside surface as that will be better for sealing.
Cheap? Well that depends on your definition of 'cheap'.
Alternative? If someone travelling in northern Africa could buy and ship the part for you?
