[Mgs] Filling gearbox on an MGB

[Paul Hunt]

I just used a short length of 1/2" or so hose which made a snug fit on the 
end of the bendy pipe that comes with 1L containers of gearbox or diff oil 
http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/images/goc4.jpg.  Both my top-fill 73 and my 
side-fill 75 were refilled from the right-hand footwell which needs a much 
shorter length of pipe than if doing it from the engine compartment, the 
latter cars still have the rubber plug on top of the tunnel where the 
dip-stick used to be.  Wise to put plenty of paper down over carpets though.
