All Australian military Series 2a (and probably Series 3) Landrovers are fitted with a calibrated brass dipstick in each tank. These have a screwdown fitting soldered to the top of the tank, and a hole in the panel above them to access the dipstick and to allow the entry of dust.

For anyone with a lathe, copying these would be quite easy, but it would be best to find an ex-army Series to have a look at what is involved.
