Did I miss something?  The stock ones I have seen the bell shaped cap was held on by a weak smashing of the stick to expand it's O.D. and retain the cap. It seems some would be pressed better than others and the gradual wearing down and cap loss.

Ok now that we have the heavy lifting done on Dip Stick  specs, let's get serious:  what is the correct color to paint these babies??

Rootes cut the top of the dipstick 2-1/8? from the top of the dipstick?s hat, rounded the end and bent it into a curve with a 7/16? radius. (Thanks to the Rootes Archive in the UK for preserving this information for us.)

The long handle Tiger dip stick is a standard Ford part (originally from a 1962 Fairlane, it was used on early small block Fords until around early 1965) with the handle bent to clear the Tiger hood. 

The short handle (finger pull) Tiger dip stick is the same as the long handle, except Rootes cut off the handle and had it made shorter, this is easy to do with a jig (I have done it without any problem)

The tube is a Ford part C2OZ-6754-A, it has to be bent slightly to fit the Tiger. Neither are available from Ford, but they are reproductions available made for early Mustangs etc.
