Header install questions. - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Paul Workman · 05-23-2010

The 5 of you that expressed an interest in me making them a dipstick tube bracket to secure the dipstick when using the Stainless Works headers...Your brackets are ready. I'll get them mailed out Monday and let ya know 'bout the cost. I'll PM ya (you know who you are).

They are a little crude, as the grinding is not machined, but done w/ a hand-held grinder, doancha know. But, that is not visible when the bracket is installed and the bracket itself is rather obscure, normally.

I'll PM each of y'all.

Paul,

Thank you very much. It looks great and I think you might end up getting many more orders. I have a custom made Lokar oil dip stick but not satisfied with my bracket and this will work much better or I might be able to modify my Lokar to your bracket and get the best of both worlds.

Aloha,

Craig

Thanks for going above and beyond.

I guess my final question, before I embark on this journey, is what things should be wrapped to protect it from heat and what was used to wrap it with?

What year is yours? I think the early ones require some heat shielding. I have a 94 and with SW headers I didn't have to wrap anything. I just zip tied the O2 sensor wires away from the headers. Oh yeah, my headers are ceramic coated too, so I wasn't all that concerned with heat.

Mine is a '90.
