Default Dipstick Retainer?

Does anybody sell one?

I understand it would just be a band-aid to cover up a potential blow-by issue, but after having a bad #7 ring create a TON of oil mess under my hood, I'd much rather not deal with the exxon valdez cleanup under my hood if the engine lets go again. I'd prefer something nicer than a zip-tie.

I figure you guys would know better than anyone. Thanks

I used a long spring, a throttle return spring made for a carb car, hooked one end on the tab that holds the tube to the block and the other end through the pull ring.

(and added a breather)

I put on a thicker o-ring.
