MG MGB Technical - Refilling Gearbox

Has anyone used this device? Any thoughts or comments?

I do basically the same with a short length of clear garden or beer brewing hose with a funnel in the end.

Don't use it for both beer and oil though, even Old Speckled Hen ...

Paul always has the best advice!

Don't know if you can get it there, but we get oil in a plastic bag with a hose on it---best thing ever, just poke the hose in and squish the bag--works a treat
Also good for rear axles etc

I have Castrol plastic bottles with gearbox (for the V8) and axle oils, squirting upwards. Couldn't use them without a tap on the hose part though for the CB roadster as being in the tunnel I can't be sure it's in until it's in.

I have a new toy that I hope will help ne gut the filler hose into the gearbox, since I can't see it!

this has an 11 ft cord and connects to your phone or iPad via Wi-Fi
