Dipstick Length

[Chrisox]

Hello,

The grommet on my dipstick is loose, not sure if this is a common thing. I need to know the length of the dipstick, bottom to the mounting face of the engine. So as the picture.

thanks

I don't want to brag, but mine is 272mm.

I don't want to brag, but mine is 272mm.

I had to keep making mine longer as the stock Dipstick would not reach the oil I will measure mine tomorrow

Using some bearing retainer or superglue would probably keep it in position aye. Get some brake cleaner to clean it off first though . I can't seem to find my one from the old 12a. Will keep an eye out though

Thanks guys that is a big help, particularly that last picture, on mine it didn't look like it should be so far up, but that picture shows it should.

cheers
