Dropped a small Allen key.

I was working on a lokar throttle cable this morning and tightened up the carbureted end and lo and behold the Allan key fell out of my hand right into the port below the carburetor. Now does that go into the head or into the galley below the intake? I figure it it’s in the galley I will leave it, but in the head, there goes my summer. View attachment 1859166
Hindsight is a beautiful thing ...but here goes.

If you're working on areas where there is a likelihood of dropping or losing small parts - sometimes it pays to take precautions.

A clean rag (preferably white) tucked under and around the work area will save lots of time searching for the likes of this Allen key. :thumbsup:
