Home away from home Joined: 2021/7/26 14:34 Last Login : Today 9:11 From Pennsylvania Group: Registered Users Posts: 2128	I realized on the rare occasion I lose a part outside, all I have to do is wait for it to turn orange with rust and then I'll find it! Happened here and also before with my headlight switch star washer. Bonus points if you can identify this part... Attach file:   20240601_183059.jpg (9,908.35 KB) Posted on: 6/1 17:38

And also something unique enough that I care to have found it instead of just throwing a new one on from a hardware store. Though I checked and I don't think this part is used on a 1931...

I think they may also be stronger magnets. Posted on: 6/5 21:34
