Default You "Dip Stick"

Ok Gang, here I go...
04 C5 Corvette, 4L60e Auto Trans. Who was the Engineer on this ?? Check and fill trans thru a side plug - REALLY !!! Has anyone come up with a 90° fitting to thread into plug hole and attach a dip stick ( correct length) that would go up into the storage compartment. So simple a "Cave Man" could do it !! Just need to know if anyone has attempting this ??

I have a S-Type Jaguar and its the same. What a pain to have to have the car running, level, and you under it measuring pan temp to get the fluid level just right.
