He's good at running away. If it every does successfully escape, there is a spare included in the bag o goodies.

He was behaving for me initially because they all do when in a new home. Then the honeymoon phase wears off.
You probaly already know this (Roxy). But I'll throw this in anyway. You can buy a telescopic wand with magnet at some hardware stores I've found. Great for finding smaller screws in carpet. Thats if they are magnetic screws. Maybe the fill screw isn't. Not sure and too lazy at this time to take one off tank.
I have one for fishing around motorcycle engines. I'll have to try to magnetize that screw.
Thankfully I have no carpet, but old oak floors can be just as difficult to find little screws in.
Yeah. I luckily found a great magnet (large) at my local hardware store one day. It called for me to buy it. I build in carpet only and find my runaway's most of the time. It's only if it's stuck to the carpet napping that can give me a little trouble.
My post screws on the g.mini are my main problem. They squirt out in all different directions, if I'm not careful. I did contact several tool suppliers to find a screw holder for precision screw drivers. One supplier should me one, but it was on a larger driver. I'm still looking. It's a quest I'll never give up on!
That sounds like my Calix. If I gave those screws a dirty look all 4 would just go flying out.
I'd like to buy both post & fill screws in bulk. I wonder what size they are?
Roxy- What do you ride?

I didn't see it there. The GMini has the black FT glass and the UD black drip tip. The Goliath has the UD black tank glass.
Yeah I believe it. Don't have a Calix but I'm sure most of us have same problems. A screw holder would be of great benefit. I'm surprised I'm having trouble finding this..
Old Triumphs are awesome...except for the Lucas electrical!
I finished restoring my '78 R80/7 this year.

Nice! Takes me back to my first bike, a used R90S. Looked almost exactly like yours, except with black cast wheels and the green/smoke color scheme.
