Trans Dip stick tip..
My small block in my 69 dart has just enough engine set back to cause me grief. Lokar was out of stock until December so I bought a copy on eBay. Piece of crap it was! The Hughes steel version I bought previously was impossible to install. The tab for the trans bolt couldn’t slip over a stud, and it was impossible to get a bolt started all for lack of firewall room.
I did get the eBay unit in, but discovered that the dipstick was very difficult to pull out and impossible to reinstall with the curve in the tube at the bottom.
So I went back to my Hughes and laid under the car. Thinking...
I cut the as supplied tab off and came up with this. A cushion clamp over the tube, bolted to a simple cut to length aluminum scrap L bracket bolted to the assembly line ear on the trans case. Simple and solved a major headache for my situation!
