    Exactly what I was thinking!! Very cool, and totally reversible if you have to sell your car, you can just take it with you.

    More Project-G innovation at work! My current dipstick handle isn't broken yet, but experience tells me that it's not a matter of "if" but "when." This time I'll be prepared!

    Is there an option, at extra cost, for attaching the pull directly to the stick, getting rid of all plastic? I don't mind, generally, the cost of custom work.

    Please do so and take pix! I'd love to see.

    There have been a few of you asking if this can be fitted to the Federal NB Soft-Pull Dip Stick. With minimal modification to the dip stick it can be done. This took me all of about 5 minutes, maybe less. The handle was cut off and the rubber top was ground down to fit into the handle.

    If we find there is a demand for this, we will make collars specifically for this since the opening at the bottom needs to be slightly larger.




    Update on the group buy:
    Everything has just gone to the polisher and anodizer.
