Default WTB: 5.3 Dipstick Tube

Guys, my dipstick tube is a casualty of a header install. The tube has broken loose from the bracket that bolts to the head and rattles. Could easliy be tacked back up but don't have a welder. Anybody have one they would part with?

just so you're aware...mine did the same thing. where the bracket was held on, there is a small ( unoticable) crack in the tube. Under high loads ( and 15lbs of boost) oil shoots out of it like a fuel injector........... I need a new one too. So, free bump and slight hi-jack....sorry

No hi-jack. Thanks for the info. 15psi nowhere in the near future but the boyscout in me says always be prepared! I've found a perty aftermarket unit but figured someone would have one or two laying around for us.
