CJ enginedip stick tube

[nedkelly113]

Hi
Wonder if anyone can help me.
I bought my first T25 in december (81 Aircooled) and i've just put it in the garage for a service and good going over. I intend to do a lot myself but thought i'd get local expert to go over it first time! When i put it in i asked him to look at an oil leak on the engine and the dipstick tube as i had problems getting it back in. he has now looked and told me i have a CJ engine and not the original CU. The problem is, the dipstick tube and filler tube are from the CU engine and dont fit properly.
Is there anywhere i can find a dipstick and filler tube for the CJ engine? Or has anyone come across this before and know of an easy solution??
Any advice would be great.

Hi Ned
Was he trying to tell you that they are in the wrong place for access through flap because this is the case with the CJ engine....
Or has someone tried to make it work and failed

Hi Andy
Think it was a bit of both. The tube is swinging in the breeze in the rough direction of the flap, but i have a real problem getting the dip back in when i check the oil. I think its leaking there too cause its such a crap fit! Bloke at the garage cant find the proper CJ tubes so thought i'd stick it on here on the off chance someone had come across it.
