I have the two dip sticks as shown in the picture that are supposed to be for a 914-6. As you can see, they are different lengths. I have no idea of which one is correct. The oil tank is a stock 914-6 tank.
I am hoping that one of the more experienced members can tell me which one is correct?  |

The bottom dip stick is the correct one. This picture is from my OE dip stick and oil tank from my 1970 914-6. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. sbsix, Your picture matches the top one of jrrobinson's photo, not the bottom one. I'm going to measure mine shortly, although I can't guarantee its originality. Mark S. '70 914-6 |

Mine is also matching the top one of the original photo.

Oops you’re right. It’s the shorter of the two dipsticks in the first frame

Belay that! Having heat stroke evidently. It’s the longer of the two at around 13 inches long. Getting old.
