Hub prices were obscene for such simple parts. I
bought a cheap solder sucker from Radio Shack. No hole
in the top of the bulb. I rested it on a genuine 2x4
and used an empty .22 magnum shell and one hit with a
moderate hammer (always calibrate your hammer carefully
before doing home handyman shortcuts) to make a
professional grade round hole.

The auto parts house also has a wide variety of plastic
hose fittings with the barbed ends. Fuel hose is too
stiff, use vacuum hose.
