For the fitting I just drilled out a bolt, cut the head off and attached the hose from the sprayer to the end of the bolt.

Filling the transmission from the bottom using pressure is sure a lot easier than from the top with ill fitting funnels. Next time I do a 722.6 fluid change I'm going to try to fill it from the bottom.
you can use the factory tool that is used on the assembly line, it fits on the filler tube and the ATF is pushed under mild pressure by the hose reel. Im sure you can make a similar item with a hose and clamp and a funnel dangling from a makeshift lanyard hanging from the hood latch eye.

filling the 722.6 from the bottom will become a giant mess as there is no standoff tube in the sump as there is on the 722.9 - The standoff tube is what sets the level and only drains excess. The 722.6 will dump all its pan contents once you take whatever fill adapter you made for it.
