Battery Box Vent Tube

My battery box vent tube fell off the other day. It appears that corrosion or wear and tear caused the outlet nipple on the box to break. Can this be replaced or do I have to buy a new battery box?

clean it up and use a bulkhead fitting to add a short tube or hose

Get Burls or Atlees firewall mounted one and get rid of the lead acid and all the porblems associated with. I think Burls STC box firewall mounted is 150.00

mine corroded loose so I cleaned everything up and glued it in with fiberglass resin, then painted the inside of the box with Imron (polyurethane paint). it's lasted about 15 years so far that way.
