1986 Turbo dipstick length

03-15-2019, 08:42 PM

I recently acquired a 1986 turbo that has no engine oil dipstick. The oem replacements have been discontinued and I cant find a turbo VG at any auto wreckers near me or anywhere online.. Can someone please give me the length from the top of the tube(seal) to the full level on the stick, as well as the length from the full line to low level line? I will fabricate a custom one once I know the dimensions. Thanks guys

Thanks for the site Reds, it looked pretty promising but I just received an email saying they sold the dipstick already… you dont happen to have one you have one you can measure for me by chance do you?
