Dipstick

I searched, but didn't find anything.

Does anyone make a decent dipstick replacement that can be reached easier?

I've got big hands, and it is getting tiresome trying to weave my way down there and find that little thing.

LOL. Sorry, too funny of a quote.


and no, I don't believe there is a replacement for this per se. You could always fab an extension or look to use a domestic dipstick and fab a length suitable.

Yup, cut the top loop off the dipstick and the new one installs with a set screw... use a dab of locktite or it won't stay tight, ask me how I know

It is much easier to see underneath the greddy elbow, I like it

Btw, that guy's site (andy i think is his name) is awesome, with tons of cool goodies. He also sponsored last year's Carlisi Memorial BBQ with lots of give aways, definitely support his site

He has a lot of cool things on his site, bought a set of rotary valve caps from him a couple months ago for my piston powered car.
