Book says to fill to the level of the upper plug, so that's what I do. The
extra pressure on the seal is very minimal, it should be able to handle it with
ease.
Don't forget, all the steering components on a TR3 originally came from some
other car (mostly a Mayflower as I recall). Likely the fill plug on the box
was used in a different application.
