Thanks. And thanks for all the other posts. I have covered most of them and have a firm bearing on all that needs to be done to get it back to top shape.

Yes sir Bud,

There you be, look at the pic below and rig up a dipstick out of something. I like galvanized wire that they use to hang ceiling tile. They work great. I'd use a dremmel tool to make the level mark. By the way , welcome to TBN blue.


JC,

PS. The 7 inch is from the top flush. You should not turn the cap tight for measurment.



That's how you read the level.
