Hello all,
I have been searching for a replacement dipstick, for the 540 that came out of our Lancair. It originally came with markings on it that did not match up with actual levels. So, I used a pipe cutter to make new marks, and that has always worked ok. The problem is there?s two sets of markings, one with numbers and mine with just the lines. It?s always a little confusing.
So, 2 questions: Where is the best place to source a replacement? I?ve found the appropriate part number (LW-14756), and a few places that carry it, but there are no images so I have no idea what I?m actually getting.
Second, what?s the best way to mark it? (Not get the levels, I have that) but how to actually mark the tube with numbers and tick marks.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
