Paging Steve Parry and/or Hog and any other mono boxer owners I've forgotten

Wonder if one of you chaps could do me a favour and measure your
dipstick?

From the bottom of the cap to the top and bottom notches IYSWIM

I've got a Luftmeister oil temp thingy and the markings on it are not
the same as the ones on the original dipstick. I know where the original
dipstick is, it's in the shrink-wrap packaging that the Luftmeister
thingy came in.

Where that is is beyond me :-(

I'm planning on scribing new marks in as that will guarantee I find the
original immediately

No hurry though, don't go out in the cold or anything - I'll not be
changing the oil for some time. I just thought I'd ask while I
remembered

 

Pressing the end of the tape against the bottom of the threaded top (so the
actual length of the dipstick bit itself)

87mm

the minimum mark is at 84mm
the maximum mark is 62mm

Splendid - as it's not getting used it only seems fair to service the

hang on I've just realized I mis measured that .... as 87mm is only 3.5 inch
or so. I'll recheck tomorrow
