As long as we're comparing numbers, Mike's number 7. I was one of the shipping testers.

I can't tell if mine is #1 or number 6 - I'm pretty sure it is number 6 since the green mark is on both sides:

This is my original one - Mike sent me a new and updated one later that slides in easier.

I've said it a lot, but I'll say it again - this is an OUTSTANDING piece - it should have come from the factory like this. Kudos to Mike - he deserves every bit of success he is having!

They are engraved on the bottom of the stick itself up by the handle and the bottom of the top bracket, they are a matched set.

Some of the early ones may have sharpie marks, but they still should be engraved, I thought I used green sharpie :LOL:
Gonna have to take a look.

While I agree Ford should include one but if they did it would be no where the quality of the Fitzstick.

Received my funnel from Mike today. Another high quality product from MBS.

Not any sticker gets thrown on the gun safe!!

Are the funnels available now???


Yes and no, yes, I do have the less than great ones from China, kinda egg shaped. I now have a 3D printer and just printed my first funnel, the file or the settings need a little work, so no, the better ones I hope to make myself are not there yet.

I have sent out a few of the China ones to guys who were doing a fluid change, I'll send one out, but but they look better in the pics than in person. :facepalm:

I ordered a Dipstick yesterday. I wonder if it will come with a funnel? If not what would be a good funnel to get?
Yes, all the new dipstick kits come with funnels, they are the better funnels of the China ones.

I just used an old funnel and a piece of scrap hose. Mine works great. Somewhere on this forum is a picture.

I have them back in stock, they are going kinda quick.

I put up 30 of them and I'm down to under 15 of them, what a great problem.

I need to double down on production now that I have my adapter fittings.... but, now I'm getting low on the top hose fitting. I ordered 300, I got 19, I hope the rest show soon.

I really owe it to everyone here, especially the first and second batch supporters, without the members here motivating me through the early tough times in this project, I would have given up.

Thanks everyone!! to all the supporters, the early and current customers, thank you very much!

Mike
