<div>Th<font size="2">e T-34 got it's own dip stick/cap assembly, as it used a smaller diameter cap.</font></div>
<div><font size="2">The filler portion is similar, but smaller for the reduced cap size. It used 2 clamps</font></div>
<div><font size="2"> to hold the boot onto both ends of the dip stick/fill tube. Both ends are similar in <br>
