Runtoeat Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Andy (Flying Monkey) made one. I'd be glad to take a few pictures of my factory stick (2006 CTSW) with a tape measure alongside to show the dimensions if this might be helpful.

cdarza Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Made one out of wood. So much easier to see the fuel level reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laid the old one on some 1/8” thick aluminum, traced it, and cut it out. Mostly with a bandsaw and finished with a Dremel and smoothed with sandpaper and a Scotch-Brite wheel. Took about 45 minutes total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want paint flaking off into my fuel. Though honestly, I primarily use the tool for opening the fuel caps and almost never dip them. I eyeball the fuel in the tanks with a flashlight, and use the sight tubes that I have marked and calibrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I bead blasted my fuel dipstick to make it easier to see the fuel level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
