Thought they were just threaded hose barbs. Your local hardware store (err, "DIY"?) or plumber's shop would have these, brass fittings usually.

If the hole's not threaded, you could tap it to put in a hose barb, or just epoxy one in

Yup, it's nothing special. Just crank on of these bad boys in there and call it good. Pic is just for reference, you may want a different length/material/shape depending on your configuration but you get the idea.

I pounded a 3-4 cm piece of 10mm fuel line in there with the flare pointing up so the vent line is snug over it...
