Vintage MG Parts manufacture the full range of MMM engine oil dipsticks. We have carefully researched variations and we have identified that a wheel spoke was orginally used by the MG factory to form the stem section which was then pressed. We initially tried to replicate this feature although unfortunately, modern wire guage diameters are different to the 1930's type and these cannot be reproduced. We have therefore, used 7/32 inch diameter bright bar for the stems and all stems are correctly calibrated for each model.
The underside of the dipstick tops on the long handled type, i.e. F, N and late P Types, had fluting whilst the short handled tops, i.e. early P, L and K Types did not. Vintage MG Parts have successfully reproduced this feature.
All dipstick tops are made from LM6 to provide a highly polished finish as opposed to the original, poor quality mazak casting.
With reference to dipsticks for the F, J, D and M Types, the dipstick enters the engine via the engine block as opposed to the sump. We have found that the dipstick hole size in the blocks vary and this may be down to worn drill bits being used during the machining process. Therefore, some owners may need to emery the stem prior to fitting.
