Oil dipstick guide

Can I get the oil dipstick guide part number from someone. My guide tube seems to be distorted. Wondering if these are still available?
 
Sorry, it's NLA. And, it requires removal of almost all components on the front of the engine (in particular, the fan bearing bracket) in order to replace it. Should be able to get a used one for sale.

Bad news is, the tube is ONLY used on the W124+M119, and the R129 with M119 with LH-SFI only (1993-95 USA model years). All other M119's are different.

How is yours distorted?

It’s a long story but I bent it some getting it out and upon reassembly was convinced that it bolted to the wrong point. I will just work with it. Didn’t realize how rare these parts are becoming.
