Re: Looking for dual high fill tube and dipstick

Looking for dual high fill tube and dipstick. Factory 28-29 dual high. If you can't find one (usually missing), one can be made from an engine dip stick. I don't remember why there was two designs. is the difference between the "round" case vs the "hex" case style dual highs?
