JX Dipstick Tube Size

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Evening,
Don't suppose someone with a JX would mind measuring the length of their dipstick tube would they, please?

I'll make one to fit, as it's only a bit of pipe, but need an accurate measurement to go off.

Many thanks
:thumbsup:

	It's not quite just a bit of pipe. You have to have two minie 'flanges' see here. You need the seal and washer from brickwerks or else it leaks. Mine also has a fixing bracket welded to the top end. As for the length, same as dipstick.

	Hello Pete, Thank you for the info link. I know about the swages and seals, hence I need the actual dimensions from one so I can accurately replicate it. If you have yours removed, perchance an annotated photo?
