made a killer bracket for a LOKAR dipstick *pics*

i made a PIMPass trans dipstick holder. I got the shorter LOKAR dipstick tube and mounted it right behind the elbow, nice and center. Ran a piece of metal across the top 2 bolts, small c-channel down to another piece of metal to mount it too.

Most of us don't have that intake/TB setup that it's bolted to either...

Props on the mount idea, that is nice and clean and very functional.

I've been looking for a good way to mount my Lokar dipstick as well, I have it secured to a hose back by the #8 primary with a nylon pulltie. Maybe I'll work on something similar to this...
