Default oem dipstick not holding tight in dart block-- dart dipstick available?

PR3 dipstick will drop right in, under no tension, as they usually are in stock blocks. payn tells me that there is a dipstick from dart, but they can't sell it separately? summit, the block distributor, says there is no dipstick specifically from dart. help? thanks.

Wrap it with electrical tape?

Well i have a new in box Dart block sitting here right next to me and it was delivered with a dipstick, i tried to drop it into the block and it is a tight fit, it will not drop all the way without some "help" . Try contacting user Moxie as he works for Dart, should be able to give you an answer to this.





Edit: added pic of block and included dipstick.
