I have been in this type of predicament before but by dropping a nut down the air intake of a large diesel engine. I was very lucky to retrieve the nut ( 1/4" ) which had dropped a long ways into the motor. I went to the store and got two large packs of " Double Bubble" chewing gum. Knawed on...

Well, I have been rescued of my CRS, the den of antiquity and black hole, inner sanctom of my shop by "Flatrod" up in Alaska. He is generously sending me the brake pawl that I am in need of. This transaction goes to show all that the "Barn" community has a large number of big hearted...

I can probably punch one out of the back of my partner’s boiled wool hat! She may not notice for awhile.�� Made one for the dipstick from the tongue of my old leather work boot! Thanks again.

Thank you Kube for the explanation… I think I can understand it! Lol Best regards.
