I'm not sure what you mean when you say a spring, there is no spring anywhere on my dipstick...

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.

Mike

   I'm not sure what you mean when you say a spring, there is no spring
   anywhere on my dipstick...

   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.
