Sir; If you are not concerned with "originality", you can actually make these tops by drilling + installing a brass 90 Degree Fitting that goes from Pipe to hose ( They self thread). I sourced my out through the local Pet Fish Store ( Fish Tank fitting)....About $.25 ea. Looks good - Works Good!....Take Care..Mike

I used to make them without threaded fittings. Just drill the hole, insert a 1"long piece of tubing,epoxied in place with loctite 5 minute epoxy.

Mike's idea sounds worthy of trying as well.
