What is the correct dipstick and tube to use for a pre A+ 1275 12G1279 block? I’ve tried quite a few combinations and can’t get one to fit

That's the correct one. Doesn't the dipstick fit? Have you got the tapered plug type dipstick?

[nicklouse]

The dipsticks are all the same other than the auto and the very early 850.

 

you must have picked up a non Mini one.

They fitted the Plastic ones from earlier on, prior to that, they were Steel, but either of these fit.

 

I gotta say, I haven't found the new Plastic ones too good.

Overall length doesn’t matter that much, it’s the length to the markings that’s important

I will ask again.

 

what is the actual problem.

[johnv]

It’s too long! When in the tube it doesn’t go all the way to the collar, it jams.
