k50 alternative filler - bolt rounded

[nic32]

Hey hey,

I've almost finished putting a 4age into an ae85 - however when I went to
top up the k50 gearbox that I'll be running for a while I found someone had previously rounded it off. Is there some other way to top up this box so that I can drive it to a mechanic to use an oxy plant(another bolt on the box or thru the shifter)? I've given the bolt a good going over but can't shift it - was thinking worst case could jack car up and feed it thru the end of the box.

cheers

Nah I rounded off the filler bolt on the side. Sweet will put it in there, any idea how much it takes?

The K series ones take just shy of 2.5l. Try using a chisel to get the bolt off, I've had to do that on an old K50.
