Dip Stick modification.


Recommended Posts

Simple and visually effective with clean oil.

I have drilled 2 mm holes through the blade of the dip stick.

New oil is now visible as it fills the holes in the stick…just like my euro box.

I had previously marked the stick for ‘pints’ from empty mark to full.  

Not accurate but helpful.

Any chance you could post the measurements for these and distance from the 'Full' line to base of the felt stopper? Something I've been meaning to do for a while.

Perhaps I need to get out (in the TR) more!

Full line to underside of metal stop measurement.  Add or subtract for your felt washer as required.

To FULL or top marker on my TR orig stick. 5”

To Bottom or ‘you need oil’ marker.  6. 1/4”

I found that 4 pints moved level from lower mark to full.

PS  I have only checked one dip stick.   I would need to do serious digging to find another to check.   Please compare my dimensions to yours and report here if I am different.

PPS  yes the box contains a Smiths ATH hand held tachometer
