You can't get it to work. They don't fit with a stock floor. I had the same problem.
I had to cut out the stock floor years ago to get the shield to work, the problem is that it hits the shield.

Mancini Racing lists dipsticks specifically for use with the CSI shield. Might be worth a look.
John Cope also lists one, at $45.00 I have one on the way.

I have a Hughes and it does the same thing. I just made a small extension to bolt to the tab that spaces it out about 1 inch.

The locking style is a GM dipstick, big deal.

That's what I use. I also use MAPP gas to heat and bend the tube to whatever shape I need and then weld on a new brace. Remark the old dipstick for the right level and keep it in the car for when you actually need it. And remember you can only bend the tube in one axis.
