Hands down pick up a dipstick from Madman racing. Fits great NHRA legal locking design too.

36inch lokar works perfect. No hassles at all. I like the idea of mounting where we wanted etc

I got a Lokar Locking... but I dont have to worry about clearing the cowl area.

MadMan's is nice because you can actually get to it with the cowling in place.

Madman one, lokar is nice, but it's a pita to fill a tranny thru that, madman one is big enough so you can actually use it like a fill neck with no troubles. It's the only way to fly IMO.

Madman's here too. Just make sure you put it in place before you put the tranny in.

We run the madman, great piece. We put it in after the trans was in, but I wouldn't recommend it

Heres a pic of a Lokar 400TH dip stick and fill tub adapter, The adapter slips over the funnel and the aluminum insert slips in side the dipstick tube with a machine fit. Works grate.

got the lokar locking dipstick. the tube isn't long enough, effectively have to get under car to check the level (not fun with a hot running motor). I also have the one pictured above on my workbench (in the Jeg's brand). It's a lot longer but doens't lock into the pan. One day it will go in the locker's place.

Lokar makes a 36" locker.
