locking header bolts

Just got a quick question for those who used locking header bolts... What did you do with the dipstick tube? The bracket on the tube is made for the manifolds but of course it won't work for the headers. Did you just use a silicone where it goes into the oil pan and thats it? Does it hold by itself?
Thanks guys.

Re: locking header bolts

My dippstick tube is holding itself fine.

I also use Nordlock washers with studs instead of locking bolts.
