Actually, the factory thought of it half a century ago. If your TR has a
dip stick you have a transmission form an earlier car. Or a cover from a
later car. That feature was eliminated along with the factory provided

hole at some point in production, not doubt to save a few pennies. My 57
has both.
Oh, now I get it! I have a TR3A built in October '57, so when I read about
having to cut a hole in the cover and it taking half an hour to top up the
oil, I was very confused. I didn't realise that feature was deleted on
later cars. That's really good to know.
