The new design
(click on image to enlarge, click again to close)



When using expanded water jacket plates it is not possible to use the original dipstick design protruding from the cylinder block. It is also rather difficult to extract the dipstick when using the Jackson Design supercharger inlet manifold.

We have recently changed our design from using a longer version of the K/L/N/P rocker box knobs to the correct L/early P Type (short) casting. The holder is a copy of the P Type arrangement with the exception that the stem part extends higher to help reduce oil leakage from the sump.

The dipstick stem is calibrated with a milled half way mark. The stem itself is 7/32 inch dia and has a close to air tight fit when in its holder. Supplied fully polished.
