Magneto Engine dip stick dimensions - Charles P - 20-12-2017
I need to make one so need the two key dimensions- overall length and the position of the engraving for "full". I can't find a sketch. I want to make an "improved" one that fits the hole slightly better!
Thanks
Charles

Full mark is 1 1/2”
Total length to underside of ball is 7”

Is there any truth to the rumour that the same dip stick full mark can be used down the filler plug hole in a 3 sreed gearbox to check oil level? cheers Russell

That is what I have always done Russell.

I have one you can borrow to copy Charles...if you are around over the festive season
RE: Magneto Engine dip stick dimensions - Charles P - 21-12-2017
Don't worry John. I don't need an original to copy because I'm going to try and make it better than the original!
Btw I still have that head of yours - must pop over with it.
