Q. about Oil dip stick on V8 conversion

Post by smurf »

Hi guys, just wondering what other people did about the oil dip stick on a 304 V8 conversion on a patrol,I've had to bend mine so much to get around the mini extractors that the stick will not go in all the way ,it gets stuck ,I know you use to be able to get a flexy one but don't know if you can get them still or is there another one you can use,any info would be great.

Cheers Mick..
