Some what off topic. But, are the filler cap interchangeable for the old Whipple unit? The one above is plastic knob, while the one on my car is oval allen head. The Allen head had rounded out and I can't remove it to change the oil. Kind of in a sticky situation here. I'm tempted to dremel a straight line and use a large flathead screwdriver to unscrew it. But then I need a new cap.

I never thought of using a torq bit. I will give it a try.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Those are my exact concerns. I have been searching but came up empty so far. I would like to get the knob type like those of later blower. But I doubt the dipstick measure the same. I want to find a replacement first before I decide to destroy the one I have currently.
You measure your dipstick and I'll measure mine.
But seriously, I have a recent CTSC with the knob + dipstick. We can probably figure out if it would work in a different blower.
edit - looking at your picture, it appears to be a significantly larger threaded hole than what I have.

i like to buy one mp just in case I rip mine. I try to be careful when I do have to screw/unscrew this bolt.

Let us know when/if you hear back from them. I haven't touch the screw since the blower were installed. Both time was done by the shop I brought to for work needed done. I don't know how they screw it back on, but boy its on there good.
When you send them the email, did you include a photo of your blower?
The respond more likely mean yes but at the same time I feel they meant it will fit more then just the Whipple unit.
