    Default ghetto rigged a dip stick handle

    used an extra anti fouler i had laying around. I cut off the end where it threads into the bung or hole or what ever took the dip stick threaded it through then took the piece i cut off and screwed it into the end capping off the end and holding the dip stick in place. similar concept to http://clubroadster.net/vb_forum/85-...-you-want.html , but well.. ghetto doesnt look horrible. ould use an actual spark plug but i didnt have any sitting around.

    While creative, it seems like a metal dipstick handle really isn't the best next to a hot engine.

    I agree. I had a metal one in my last car and couldn't touch it after driving. Always had to use a towel after warm up.

    I expected a pic of the old Miagra dipstick.

    Creek used the brass from a .30-06 on his dip stick. There is a photo of it around here somewhere, but I can't find it.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.
