Default PI swap complete

Swap went perfect except for one thing, the oil dipstick tube we forgot to put in.We tried forcing it threw the headers and around into the hole and almost got it in. It still leaks oil car drives fine except that its leaking oil bad.

My question is, where could I find a flexible dipstick tube or even possible could I quick steel it or JB weld it to the hole?

Lokar dip sticks from summit racing. I have one ready to go in with the PI swap, but it looks like it will make the install 10x easier.
