Pretty up your dipstick!

like this......








I got more if you need one, maybe 10 bucks.

How'd you secure it? Set Screw or an epoxy or something? Thats a good idea. I might work on that sometime soon.

We didnt the hole was drilled to a few thousands of the size of the dipstick assy...I dont see why you cant use some epoxy.Mines on there tight.

I doubt I have the right size drill bit, so I'll probably just epoxy it when I get around to making one.

I actually used a #24 drill bit (may have been a 23, whichever was smaller). They only took a few minutes to whittle out, but I did already have a few form tools ground. But for any that don't fit, I would use loctite leave sealant. That shit will fill up a .007in gap, and won't let go.

What did you make the little knob with? Lathe?

yeah, I did that at school. Hopefully next quarter, I can come up with some cool CNC projects to make. Hell, we actually cut a motorcycle wheel earlier this Q. It was from a 21" blank and a former student designed it on Autocad maybe, and we cut it for him.

unfortunately, I can't take any credit for making this. Pretty much all I did was bolt it to the table and pressed the green button.

shall that be an acrylic rim or plexi galss rim?
love thoses... friewnd of mine made some, for shows only of course'

dude, thats alluminum
