Well, the pictures pretty much say it all, but...

Drill 11/16" hole very carefully and slowly with a paddle bit into the lid of a Little Dripper.

Fit high flow, regular nozzle into Flush Bulkhead Nozzle Assembly

Connect to the rest of the system and monitor water level in dripper constantly for awhile. This method is fraught with peril because there's no way to down the auto fill! Even with this relatively high flow nozzle, it still only produces about 5 ounces per minute, it would take 14 minutes to fill it completely.

There's a 6MB WMV file located at...
