dip stick
On the old board someone described how they made a dip stick for the transmission from an old oil plug. I want to make one myself but what is the recomended way of fixing the dip stick to the plug so that it won't come loose?

The most efficient way is probably to drill a hole in the filler cap for the dipstick (steel or aluminum rod say 2.5 - 3.00 mm diameter.
push in the new dipstick and then cross dill with say a 1.0mm hole but not all teh way through. Push in a 1mm pin through the cap and through the rod and it should be 100% safe.
