Good find there Red. Yes, been thinking of getting an old trashed lid, and making a baffle below the current hole, just can't find same green plastic to make little legs with, unless I use the little green connecting stalk. Should maintain the original look, and maintain the air flow, but make the water path indirect.

My G/F's name is Jane - that's a common name I use for her 
Here is my overflow bottle anyhow.
and the lid
and lid open
there is a little slot in the lip that the lid clips onto as someone mentioned above.
I needed to be able to enter the bottom of the bottle from the side so I changed the straight fitting on the bottom for a S/S one with a 90 degree bend in it and a small filter, otherwise std.
Damn, the plastic is starting to go yellow like they always do.

thanx toranamat69 and with 33min to spare 
but i thought you might of had a hose going from the green lid to the ground, but as stated they dont exist.
i take it no one has had problems with these bottles overflowing.
are they suppose to be filled to the max line hot or cold thanx.

If you are really after a cap with a spout attached, the EA-B Falcons have this and should fit.
