[DeTomaso] Pantera Aviad pan

Wed Jun 12 20:53:16 EDT 2024

Chris,

The stock dipstick was nothing more than a standard Mustang dipstick chopped in half, with a spring brazed in between the two halves. 

You can buy a stock Mustang dipstick anywhere, and have the same thing done. They can take the spring from your old dipstick and transfer it over. 

Or, they can just fix your existing one. 

It needs to be exactly 38 inches from the cup to the tip.
