David,
YES, they are as per the factory doc.
I=E2=80=99ve had MK1 number 622 since 1971 and
585 since 1995.  =20
Both same stick, no hood, I thought they
left them off but Paul Reisentz insisted
they all had them originally.

 Could it be Rootes removed it to re-curve the dip stick pull? So now they w=

ieve they just fell off.

 Gary, I don't think Rootes left them off, but removing the dust cover woul=
d make them loose, they couldn't get them back on as tight as they were ori=
ginally, so eventually they worked there way off from use.

Gary, are you dip sticks the short finger pull type?
As far as I know the dust cover isn't available.

The long handle Tiger dip stick is a standard Ford part (originally from a =
1962 Fairlane, it was used on early small block Fords until around early 19=

The short handle (finger pull) Tiger dip stick is the same as the long hand=

to do with a jig (I have done it without any problem)

When I got my engine back from a high performance machine shop, they happil=

                        I got my engine back from a high performance
                        machine shop, they happily pointed out the new
                        chrome dipstick and dipstick tube they had
                        obtained and installed in the process.
                        Unfortunately this will not fit correctly as you
                        can imagine. Mysteriously although they had
                        returned some other parts, the dipstick was
                        missing and the old tube battered to the point
                        of no use. I am hoping to find a solution=E2=80=A6=
=E2=80=A6.not
                        sure if anyone has ever made a pattern of the
                        original tube or has any ideas. Thanks.</span></p>=
