[Fot] TR6 Dip Stick Tube

[Brian]

Bob,
I may have a dipstick tube. I have lost them as well my solution was jb weld the tube into the block. Never lost another one. I also want something easy to reach and check often.
Email off list if you want me to look for the tube.

I suppose "to each, his own"
But I'm with Steve.
I check my oil level, I'll bet, some times 20+ checks a weekend.
I want something that's quick, easy and doesn't require tools or cleaning. 
A clean towel is all I need to grab. And done.

Hi,


I somehow managed to lose the dip stick tube for my latest engine. So, what's the consensus:


1. fabricate a tube from some aluminum
2. drill / tap the block for an AN fitting and fab up a dip stick of the proper length


???


In other words, I'm looking for suggestions.


Oddly, three engine block cores and no dip stick tubes. What's up with that?
