[ROVERNET - UK] Transmission tubing

[geffandjulie]

I made the same mistake: installed the engine without the metal tubes. I was 
able to thread them backwards and tighten the connections sufficiently. The 
front, flexible bits were not too difficult to hook up afterwards, once the 
radiator was in.
