If that was my bike then getting the screw out would be my first priority and this is how it would be done. Firstly purchase these: 5 X Strong Ring Magnets Countersunk Hole 5 mm Rare Earth Neodymium 15 mm x 5 mm | eBay Some of this:Kite Line. Nylon Kite Line. One Kite Line. 50 lb | eBay I would tie the magnets onto the line using a figure of 8 knot so that they are secure and then would proceed to go fishing for the errant screw until I had it in my hand again. Not bothering is sloppy and not what I would recommend. Hope this helps.
I thank you for the attack on my personality! just running the tank down to reserve. Ive got a replacement filter to put in while its apart.....good idea though....just about to click on the links...
Wasn't an attack on YOUR personality, it was a response to other forum members advice that it will be ok to leave it alone. Good grief, I try to help and that is how you reply.:Finger::Finger::Finger::Finger::Finger::Finger::Finger:
Thats the problem with the printed word.....i was trying to be funny but it fell flat on its face...which only happened to me this week with another user...
Strongest small magnets I have are those from a busted hard drive........ .......don't use them in the petrol tank though, because they lock-on so hard they are almost impossible to shift.
Yeah they're Neodymium too, strongest magnetic material you'll find. I've got loads of the stuff some are 70mm diameter 8mm thick, get your hand trapped between a couple of these and they'll rip your skin off :Wideyed:
I lost the skin off the tip of a finger when one decided to attach itself to a vice when I was playing around with it one day............ ............just as well I wasn't checking to see if I had balls of steel......
