I have not got a number from it yet, but just wondered if anyone could shed any light on it. Obviously a picture would be easier, but the major will not allow that. Did the early Series Two gearboxes have this method of filling them with oil, or is it possible it is a lash up with various bits of gearbox?
Early series II's had the 2.0 engine, so had the same gearbox as the 
series I's....

(it's also the same bolt-pattern as the 2.6, if you're remotely 
interested...)
