Remote Transmission Dip Stick Aftermarket Support?

[Msfitoy]

This is the funnel type I use with our FitzStick. Good fit. No mess. Like two bucks from wallyworld.

That's desecrating the Fitstick! How dare you! ?

To be honest, like I said, I wouldn't trust a printed funnel...it could snap off at the head and leave you with a stuck part that would be a nightmare...you wouldn't be able to cap your oil filler...

Print it out of TPU, Still fairly stiff but yet semi flexible and much stronger than PLA.

I'll probably draw one up and make it this week sometime, I've got a whole drawer full of Orings that I can use.

TPU is probably too flexible (given the thickness, 2-3mm)...PETG or Nylon would be my next choice but still there's potential for layers splitting...I'd go with injection molded parts that needs to take rotational stress...

I presume a groove to retain an o-ring would be in order.

 

[Fitzmotor]

Yes, two O rings in properly sized grooves.

Connect a hose to that and run it out the RTT...great idea!

That looks like a peapot!!!

This is my custom solution. Flexible adapter to use what I consider an almost useless article from the truck. I've never run a car out of gas in 34 years of driving, so I might as well use it for something.

Your kid was cool, he could tell I was a patent dummy, but he still treated me like a good teacher would, explaining it to a dummy, without making me feel like a dummy, class act?

Yes, two O rings in properly sized grooves.

Silicone sleeve fitted to the taper?:

 

[Freakazooid52]

Yes, two O rings in properly sized grooves.

Would there be a vent to prevent funnel burping out fluid on you? I may have missed if that was said already

 

[Fitzmotor]

Yes and yes, one of the first things I verified before making the dipstick was that the transmission is vented.
