David,
You may have misunderstood my question. I had a BJ8 dipstick but have now
just received one for a 3000. The BJ8 dipsticks are much longer. As you
mentioned they are 16 inches to the full line whereas I have now ascertained
that a 3000 dipstick is 11 inches to the full line and 12 inches to the MIN
level.
The AH Spares repro item is as I suspected slightly incorrect as it measures
10 7/8 and 11 7/8 to the respective marks.
regards
Derek
