Oil dipstick tube question
I have a 1992 F250 with a 5.0 (Completely stock original engine) and the dip stick tube mount is broke (the one that bolts to the exhaust manifold and holds the tube up) and it's flopping around. Now, My only option is to get a new one obviously and the only ones I've found were around $60. That's kinda high for what I wanna spend. So my question is, are there any cheaper aftermarket ones any where? I remember seeing much cheaper chrome ones for older engine but never seen one for this year of a truck. I've seen those for around $20. Anyone know if there are any cheap ones like that out there, or am I gonna have to get the expensive one?
Oh, And I don't care if it's chrome or not. I was just describing the one I seen

How about fab'n up a new mount? Piece of sheetmetal, but to length, drill couple holes and bolt it in. Heck, even a piece of that muffler strapping could be used, it comes with holes already. A touch of paint and presto-chango it's like new.
If you know a welder, you could just fix your existing one.
