stock ones should be easy, but one like you have pictured i cant think off all the brands but search for a universal dip stick, or i know lokar is a company that makes them.

Yep, Lokar makes them. Summit Racing carries a ton of different sizes.

then you will have to just buy every single one and return the ones that don't fit

it does not take long to pop out the dipstick

give me a couple days i will measure a tube and stick so you have numbers to refrence from, the important length for accurate reading is how far it sticks in the block.

You can't take a dipstick out and measure it and put it back in even if it is messed up? Are you sure you can handle installing a flexible tube? Not being a dick. I'm being dead serious about this. Perhaps going to your dealership and getting a new OEM dipstick is a better option.

lol nice one :P
no i can handle it my self, i did all the mods on my car my self (IC, headers.....), i said that cause the weather is starting to get cold around here and i work 28 days outa the month, so i dont have the time to take it off just to measure it, so id rather do the whole thing at one time

i dont work quite as many days, but enough, but being 12 hr days dont leave a lot of free time, hence why it will take me a few days to get out where i can scrounge up an extra dipstick and tube to measure. i know i have one laying around, i am sure of it, i just have to get the time to get out and locate it, which i will do while i am out getting some other items done too.

sorry it took so long , my dad went into the hospital, and things have been hecktic. i was putting his and my cars away for the winter and saw a dipstick laying there and remembered so i snapped the pics, it has just been a few days to get them posted and linked. but here they are.

the biggest thing is get it close, then just make note of where the stock stick reads when removed and make note of where the new one reads when installed and make note of where you need to be to be acurate.
