Make sure to put a thin piece of pinstripe tape on the inside of the coolant tank so you'll still be able to check fluid level inside... I might do that one myself eventually to get rid of the ugly plastic, maybe even the PS bottle as well...


As for the dipstick, as long as you're not using it all the time, and just redip prior to shows, it should work. I'll be interested to see how it turns out.
