Dropped Tank Nut
Hello everyone!
I was in the process of replacing my throttle cables and i dropped the bloody tank pivoting nut down towards the engine.
Cant find it for the life of me, is their a common place it comes to a rest?
Or does anyone know its size?

This is where the old magnet on a stick comes in handy. You'd be amazed what you find in there!
