1) Cut a nice, clean hole rather than an ugly one <g>
2) Install a later gearbox (the 3 synchro boxes after TS50,000 had a plug on the side).
3) Add a plug in the side.

#1 would actually be my choice, as I really like having the dipstick.  In fact, the TR6 gearbox in my TR3 has a dipstick installed.
