Default Re: Dip Stick

Back in the day early 60s my fathers 1926 had a dipstick from its time. So easy to
make now with all common hardware. a street elbow on the lower pet cock think it was
1/8 pipe thread and 1/8 pipe which went thru the running board splash pan. Then a
common rod into the pipe with a knurled nut on the top. Now you would top off oil
just to drip from the top spigot now mark the dip stick as full. thats it all common
hardware no more bending over a common accessory back then.
