I doubled up O-rings on my motometer and now it seals tight and any extra water goes out the overflow instead of all over my windshield.
I also agree about sticking with the stock non-synchro transmission. To me, along with manual spark advance and the GAV, it's one of the biggest things that makes an A an A. Once you use it enough it'll be a breeze going up and down through the gears. And don't worry about crunching gears from time to time, they don't call them crash boxes for nothing
