I used a Lokar dip stick. Problem was it didn't fit exactly. i took a bolt that fit into the dip stick hole and modified it to accept the lokar dip stick.

That required a bolt with the same threads as the original dip stick, drilled it out in a few steps and set the length for proper depth. PIA but got it done.
