Now that Buck Trippel supplied the Rootes drawing for altering the dip sti=
ck, I see what the reason might be for the missing "little hood" dust cover=
. Could it be Rootes removed it to re-curve the dip stick pull? So now they=
were loose? It is very hard to get this dust cover off, I find it hard to =
believe they just fell off.
Gary, are you dip sticks the short finger pull type?
As far as I know the dust cover isn't available.
