[DeTomaso] Oil dipsticks that can actually be checked!

[Dick Koch]

Rob, I used a Lokar dipstick setup with some simple modifications where 
I used part of the original dipstick instead of the Lokar wire stick, 
and got them to throw in an additional bracket that Lokar supplies with 
the kit.  It is a high quality unit that aside from looking good is very 
easy to get reach. The following picture shows the initial installation 
but does not show the second bracket installed.  The flexibility of the 
dipstick conduit allows you to install it in different locations 
depending on your engine configuration.

The Lokar web site has some good illustrations of the products they 
offer, with the engine dipstick section at:

I dealt directly with Lokar at the time.  As with everything, the prices 
have gone up since I installed mine some 13 years ago.
