Great.
I love mine.
Need to change the level indicator to one like I did for you.
I still have the prototype one.
Works but not as easy to read like yours.

I want to put it on my mod list, what are you going to call it? And do I have the one-off?

Call it the RatStang Custom Dipstick I guess.
You have 2 of 3.
I have 1 of 3 (The prototype).
And there is one more so far (The red one pictured in the thread).
I am sort of surprised the demand has not been more.
If it was I would make a few to have on hand.

There is also a similar dipstick on a Bronco 2 that has a V-8 installed and a 4R70W trans.
It was built due to problems accessing the thing. The B2 is so high off the ground and the engine compartment so crowded it comes up the passenger side of the motor and crosses over the back to the drivers side. Then forward along the fuel rails and ends by the power steering pump. That way it can be accessed from the front of the vehicle.
Rather unique to say the least.

I wouldn't mind having one, but I'm not sure it will fit with the KB.

Got a picture of the passenger side of your engine bay?
I can adjust the length to whatever you need.
That way you can route it where you want it.
Do this:
Take a plastic strapping (The type from around a box) and feed it from where you want the top, down to the side of the pan routed where you want it to go.
The tubing is flexible so will bend pretty good around slow curves.
Measure the length and thats your tubing length.

Here is a pic of the routing on the B2 (see red line) at the passenger end it did another slow 90 down to the trans.
Pretty flexible and as long as there are no sharp 90 degree turns it does good.

I have 02 Mountianeer with 4.6 and the 5r55w trany, If I measure where I want the handle to be you can make it for me? I am going to replace the solenoid pack and since I will there anyway, whynot.

Sorry at this time I am not making any.
Perhaps the near future.
They are not hard to make. Your local hose maker does most the work (The people who make Hyd hoses for the Forklift people are the place to go).
