[Healeys] transmission venting

[Warthodson at aol.com]

This is a follow on to Rich Chrysler's recent question about BN1 transmission 
venting, but my question concerns the venting of later top shift 
transmissions. The aluminum top cover has a small circular tag riveted to the cover. On 
several that I have seen, the rivet is longer than would appear to be necessary 
& a loose fit in the cover. I thought this would be a source for a leak so I 
recently sealed the rivet with penetrating thread sealant. My question: Is this 
supposed to fit loosely to act as a vent for the transmission?
