Mine dipstick is a chrome one from summit, it has the mounting eye a little high relative to the header bolts. I belive it was intended to be bent down slightly so that the header bolt lines up. But its no big deal so i left it sticking up.

some factory models had a bracket that bolts to the header and the dipstick snaps into that
