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…….not sure if anyone has ever made a pattern of the original tube or has any ideas. Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rick<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
