I am trying to fiigure out the best way to mount the dipstick after installing the FMS uneqaul headers. So far I tried bending the mounting tab on the factory dipstick, but I am not able to figure out how to get it close to the header bolts. I ended up purchasing the motorsport dipstick as well, but it seems to be even further away from the bolts too. Does anyone have pics or suggestions for the best way to mount the dipstick in my case?

I didn't even mount my dipstick again. I couldn't for the life of me get the bracket that came with my mac shorties to work. So it just chills there and hasn't been any problem.

Thanks for the pick Nazstang I will try again this weekend to reroute the dipstick. I am almost tempted to try routing the FMS dipstick that way and see if it fits.
