Default Fixing to a metal post

I will need to fix a new wooden gate post (4x2") to the front of an
existing metal post. The metal post looks like its (rusty) mild steel,
square hollow section about 3" square, with a wall thickness of 3 or 4mm.

Any good suggestions for a suitable fixing system?

(the post is concreted into the ground at a friends place, so poking it
under the pillar drill in the workshop will not be an option!)

Cheers,

John.
