Default LP Carrier Fuel Tank Dipstick

Hi Guys,

We need some photos and measurements for an LP Carrier fuel dipstick. We know they are made from Masonite, which shouldn't be a challenge to get.

Cheers

Default Masonite- dipstick

So what is it? bits of crushed and dried masons? Do the bits of bear fur cause fuel blockages? (no offence meant)
I have a hardwood one.
I could bring it down this weekend if you want a look.

Default Sounds like a plan

Bear fur or hard wood I would be keen, any chance of the measurements for the throttle linkage also.

The measurements are from the spindle center to the hole center.

I'm not sure as to the exact percentage of crushed masons and bear fur, but Masonite is generally mostly steamed wood fibres.

Is your dipstick an original Lynn?

Lew, I saw one of those throttle linkages on it's lonesome in a box up in Hamilton.
