<VV> Dipstick handle seal fix

[4carbcorvair]

Not sure if anyone here has found a fix for the seal in the dipstick handle.


I finally went out to solve the dipstick handle seal delima.

I had a spark plug wire boot, cap end. Fits perfectly over the dipstick tube
and into the handle.

First, I removed most of the original seal.

I than fit to make sure it would work.

Than trimmed off the excess so the handle would seat down all the way.

All I have to do other than try it out, is get some adhesive to hold the
rubber into the handle. A very nice tight fit.
