Jim,
You asked me:
What would be the best way to attach the magnets if an aluminum oil pan is used?
Instead of putting the magnet directly in the oil pan, put it on top of the steel, screened oil pickup. Then, when you do drop the pan to clean the "hair" off the magnet, you will have to remove the pick up screen, remove the magnet, and clean the filings that are stuck in the inside of the pickup with spray carb cleaner and compressed air.
