Early tube and dipstick oil

Post by frenchdevil » Fri Mar 01, 2013 5:54 am

Hi,
i had found an tube and dipstick oil,
but tube seems very short... is it original tube ? Cut ?
And the handle is correct ? because i have seen some weldings on the top ? Is it the correct dipstick ?

Mine mic's out at 1.277 inch and the length of the dipstick from the top of the cap (not the loop) is somewhere around 23". All the tubes I have are cut at an angle where they go into the block as well.

Hi,
I guess that the correct one has this form.

The one shown in your photos is too small and I think it´s correct for a Americar engine.
The tube is as Andy say and has an angle and cut.
Cheers,
Charlie S.

Charlie S, You have posted a photo of the early GPW dipstick and tube. The early MB tube is straight and is 1.25 OD and is 14' long. I have a good reproduction of the slat grille outer tube that is the correct length with the bevel cut on the bottom.
They are $25 plus shipping. Thanks,

Hi Richard,
tks for your comments.
I want to mention that my SLAT GRILL is a LATE Slat (#124991).
I don´t know if the tube and dipstick changes from an Early Slat Grill.
I checked and saw a lot of photos of Late Slats and all looks like mine.
Could you post a photo of the mentioned reproduxtion ?
Cheers,

Charlie S, you are correct for a late slat. The oil filler tube changed from p/n 639555 straight pipe to p/n A-5165 with a funnel top at serial number 114550. The reproductions that I have are for pre-114550 engines. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi Richard,
your offer for early tube and dipstick oil is still valid. I would be interested too.

Unfortunately, 8 years ago I didn't have a Slat Grill, but now.
Adam, a year ago you searched too. Did you find?

I bought the DOM tubing on ebay, $35 bucks plus post bought enough to do 2.

Get a small dipstick from a welder or genset that is way too small for a correct dipstick, along with a full size later dipstick and tig them together to make a correct looking one,

heres a post last time this subject came up

viewtopic.php?f=69&t=241355

watch the auction site,,, can ususlly find one or parts to make on for $125 bucks or start a new post on the wanted section and c what happens.

I have some left in the barn,, will be quite a bit till i get to look for them.

I asked JMP awhile ago if they had plans to reproduce these, they said they would but they had no idea when. I guess it might help if we all keep pestering them about it? 8)
