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..

mick i think some speed shops sell flexy tubes for trimatic turbo350/400 autos they also might sell them for oil dip sticks might be worth a try

Dose bending the dipstick around exhaust and accessorys give a false oil reading

see if they have any and I tried shoving it in harder just kept bending on me and not going in any more.
