Hi everyone. I hope someone can help me.
I am trying to put a type 3 FI VW on my trike frame and I wanted to find out what others have done to solve the dipstick problem. I can find a LOT about converting to an upright engine and using a dipstick adapter but I can't find any information on using a stock dipstick.
The conversion uses a short tube and a small dipstick but can't be used if you keep the pancake engine configuration, which I plan to do.
The stock type 3 dipstick uses 2 different tubes attached together by a rubber boot, one attached to the engine and one attached to the car where the dipstick/oil filler cap clicks into place.
My problem is I do not have the car part of this and even if I did, I would have no where to mount it.
I need a stand alone piece that will fit over the engine tube and hold the dipstick. Has anyone seen this solved and if so where can I get one?
Thanks
