I was going out to move a trailer pulled out the dip stick to check the oil. And And the rivit that holdes the dipstick to the breather cap became un rivited and the stick fell off. I thought I saw way back how somone had fixed theirs I did a search but could not find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction
Thanks Billy

Billy,
If you can find or make a solid rivet I can tell you how. Clamp a piece of bar stock upright in your vise. Put the rivet in the hole in the dipstick and place the rivet head on the bar. Then you can put the can over the rivet and form a head with a ball pein hammer. The correct police may not notice the head is on the wrong end of the rivet if you work carefully.

Bolt
Come to think of it, I think MINE has a small bolt in the cap, and I just didn't know any better. Until now

Jeff lucky I have the long dipstick so it wasn't able to fall into the pan.
Thanks Mr GW thats what I needed.
I just went out and looked at it better now that I know what to look for. It looks like a pin was brazed into the cap then center punched in the bottom after the clip and dipstick are on. I was able to put the stick back in and repunch it and its staying on now. It was loose and able to turn before now its tight but seems to be working.
Thanks ya all Billy
