Dip Stick Mounting Bolt Broke
I hope this works... Here is a link to a photo I took of my car's dip stick.

The dip stick mounting bolt snapped off a while back and I'm not sure how to fix this. I was trying to tighten my manifold bolts a long time ago, and I believe I was unbolting my dip stick mount to get access to one of the manifold bolts. This is when it snapped right off. I thought of just having the mount welded back where it used to bolt on. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

LT's - Funny how major mods often seem to be the result of minor repair projects.

BTW, love your new avatar Ed. Each letter in "HAL's" name was exactly one letter off from "IBM". No coincidence.
