Broke oil dipstick, where to buy new one?

I am installing my MAC headers (almost there!). Unfourtionatly, I managed to break the dipstick. I only broke the dipstick itself the tube is fine. Where can I get a new dipstick?

Interesting that the guy says the dipstick has the part number that agrees with 1995-1997 dipsticks and not the part number for 1993-1994 dipsticks. Don't know what the difference really is (markings or length?) but 1993-1994 uses a different tube and stick than 1995-1997.

I have two dipsticks. One to keep in the tube (its short). Another to check the oil. All you do is get a generic dipstick, change the oil, see where it comes up to and mark the stick. Done.
