Unanswered: Dip Stick interchange?

I am having trouble locating a dipstick for the aluminum oil pan 1.9 engine in my GT (stick goes into tube on pan, not hole in block). Does anyone know of an interchangable dip stick that might work? Even if it were too long it could be cut to the proper length and marks etched in for full or a quart low. The main concern would be having a similar sized handle and rubber plug by the handle to seal the tube up.

dipstick

I switched to an aluminum oil pan but had no dipstick. I trimmed and calibrated a dipstick from an old chevy, but I had to use a home made plug for the tube opening because the chevy dipstick didn't seal. Then I called Opel GT Source and Gil sent me one for the aluminum pan. Turns out my calibrations were good! I'd just call OGTS and get a used one.
