[Tigers] Dipstick (the item, not the derogatory term)

Does anyone have a source for just the sealing "cap"?
I have two original Tiger sticks but both came to me without
the cap.

The long handle 
dip stick is a standard Ford part (originally from a 1962
Fairlane, it 
was used on early small block Fords until around early 1965)
with the 
handle bent to clear the hood. The later Mustang dip stick has a
round handle, not flat, and is not correct.
The short handle Tiger dip stick is the same as the long handle, except Rootes
cut off the handle and had it made shorter, this is easy to do with a jig (I
have done it without any problem)
