Yep,as usual ,another odd request from this old git! ... Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
 I did ask this yonks ago ,but was never really happy with the outcome...so sit back and listen carefully!
 Ive cut my dipstick tube down and also the dipstick itself,completely removing the markings. I know how much oil the engine takes,and therefore should be able to mark a ' full' notch on the dipstick,with full complement of oil in the engine,BUT ...I want to check if Ive got this right...SO..
 Does anyone have a block with original dipstick tube and with sump removed? If so,with dipstick in the tube,fully 'home',I need to know....

 1)the measurement from the u/side of  block to the 'FULL' notch
2)and also from u/s block to the low oil mark (assume there is 2 notches on a Reliant dipstick?)
 
Underside of block being the flange that the sump bolts to.
 
 Many Thanks

Here you go

Length of dipstick: 378mm
Length of tube: Approx 270mm (bends about so I cant really get that accurate

Total length of dipstick proud of the tube 100mm

Oil full mark from end of tube 75mm
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thats the critical measurement I think


I guess you can do the rest from that Smiley
