oh boy....I was installing the fender strakes on the 8 and it went pretty smooth except my hand barely fit in behind the fender and while tighting the last strake i dropped the allen wrench

I cant see it or get it out..it may be lost for ever though i really hope not; any ideas on how to get it out? I guess my only concern would be a possible rattle.

 

Get a Magnetic Retrieving Tool to retrieve your "allen" wrench!

 

Jack your 8 up. Remove the wheel. Remove the inner lining screws and start digging. If this happened to me, it would drive me nuts knowing that wrench was inside the frame somewhere. Any siblings with smaller hands???

Good luck!!

Tap on the lower fender and see if you can get it to rattle..this should give you a clue where to look..

 

these are all great ideas...ill give them a try tomarrow, and yeah you are right - it is driving me nuts knowing its there.
