7at trans dipstick

I removed the OE cat brace, cut the bottom dipstick tube bracket where it interferes with the OE wire harness bolting spot, bought the bolt that goes in the available hole on the back of the head thereby bolting the tube there using the tube tab and done. One cut and zero bending.

I wear size XL gloves and can quick access check without issue. Maybe another plus to using the tube that the G37 forum guy did.
