Dipstick for 260

[David]

Hi all,
Can anyone point me towards a new dipstick for my ZT-T 260?
Mine has mysteriously disappeared.
Ordered a replacement from the States, as Rimmers say they're unavailable, but Pete Waite says it won't fit as the sumps on the MG are different.
£19 for the stick, £42 for the carriage! Ouch!!!
Not sure where the original went but Pete, who looks after the car, says he hasn't seen it at his place.
Thanks in advance,
Eugene
P.S. Have made plans to go the Yorkshire meeting in April - my first meet! - so would like to get it sorted by then.

Well it is listed here:

... but whether they actually have it in stock or not may be another matter! Give them a call maybe?

Give Chris a call at Retro Sportscars. He's done a few engine swaps so may have one lying around.

I've tried once to order something from them, only to be told 48hrs later than item was NLA and was refunded. Looks to me like they list most if not all of MGR part numbers, only to check if available or not once a customer has placed an order.

Think you're probably right, scoubix, but in view of the NLA elsewhere, I thought it may be worth a try; doesn't cost to try!
I did once manage to get a part from them on that basis, which was certainly NLA elsewhere, Rimmers, Austin's, Dreadnought et al.
