Would anyone be kind enough to measure their VE oil dipstick length? From the cap to the beginning and end of the shaded area?

My dipstick got glued in the engine after I mistakenly didn't remove it while resealing the oil pan. I pulled the dipstick out and the end broke off. I don't know if it's still stuck inside or it dropped to the bottom of the pan but the car is running fine.

I have had difficulty sourcing a replacement dipstick so I need to fabricate something. Just need to know the length.

 

I have one available, I can sell you, it is from a VE engine. PM me for price and zipcode where you are at so I can get you a price.
