Aristo oil dipstick in mkiii question help!!!!!!

[JORAMI17]

Hi all, I am in the process of completing my 2jz-gte swap in my 91 Supra and here I am almost done and realized I don't have an oil dipstick. I figured I would be smart and (before doing my research) got one for an mkIV and.......guess what..........it doesn't fit!:: blonde ::

So my question to you guys is.....any ideas? Should I just make do with what I got? It seems short and no place to attach at the top by the intake.

its always nice to have the part that fits if it reads the oil level correctly, then i dont think it would be that big of a deal.

I did the same thing only to realize that it attaches to the intake manifold support bracket on the USDM MKIV. I was unable to use this bracket due to the BIC motor mount brackets being in the way. So I made an aluminum bracket to mount the original Aristo oil dipstick tube, which no longer had a place to mount due to the change in oil pans. Perhaps you could do something similar with the part you have.

yeah just use some flat stock and drill holes. There's plenty of threaded holes inthe mani for it to attach
