You would have to buy one of the repro dip sticks, and remove the "cap/bell",
which isn't easy.I
have removed a couple of the dust caps from one dip stick
and added
them to a Tiger dip stick. They Do Not come off easy and don't go
back
on easy. They are held on by those two crimp tabs very well and I don't
believe they would come off in use, (don't know why so many Tiger dip sticks,
mainly the short finger pull model are missing the dust cap unless they were
removed when Rootes shortened the finger pull and weren't put back on or were
made originally without them I think this was discussed on the List before) it
would take a lot of wear to come
off if they were made originally by the
factory with the short finger pull..
No one sells/makes just the dust cap, I believe Scott Drake makes the repro.
dip stick.
