Here's a really minor question:
When I first checked the oil level on my (new to me) '76, I noticed that
there was no felt stopper on the dipstick. I ordered and received one from
TRF.
It is a thick white felt plug. When I went to slip it on the dipstick, I
looked more carefully and found a very thin felt layer on the underside of the
flange on the dipstick. It looks intact and in good condition, as if it was
designed that way.
To thicken the soup, the vintage Triumph dealer who sold me the car had
changed the oil just prior to shipping the car. The oil level reads about a
half-quart high. Perhaps the dealer used the standard number of quarts and
the
dipstick reads high because it is supposed to have the thick felt on it and
doesn't?
Thanks.
