I fitted a nice Stainless Steel dip stick to my B series car.
It has three problems - not good for such a simple tool.
a) It is so smooth and clean the oil doesn't stick to it!! The solution was to rough it up with some wet and dry.
b) It reads 6mm high compared with the original one.
c) its round in section rather than flattened like the original so its harder to read.
Still I'm going to keep it because it has one big advantage. It looks good.
