Took a... something to the left front on Moxie.
The 'T' part was encased in rubber that fell apart while I was pulling it out of the tire.
Update: Reader Red's Woodsman appears to have ID'd it. The metal parts of a bicycle brake pad.
Sadly, the plugs don't appear to have taken and the hole still leaks. Time to take it to the local ma & pa tire place for a patch. Update: Ma & Pa tire place charged me the princely sum of $25 to put a patch over the hole that the plug failed to seal.
The back-up camera on Moxie was a blurry mess. $25 plus tax replacement from Amazon and it's crisp and sharp! It's amazingly good now!
Got the oil and filter changed on my father in law's truck. We'd missed the scheduled window because... I was convinced he'd taken it to a shop to have the oil done.
He hadn't. But since we used the extended miles synthetic stuff, prolly no harm.
If you covered the T part in hard rubber or plastic and extended the threaded shaft past what appears to be a broken end it would be very similar to a spare tire hold down bolt. Do you remember about where you got it? Was it near an intersection? Or a really bumpy section of road? Maybe debris from a recent accident or fell off after a good pothole bump.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a 1/4" thread.
DeleteIt was at an intersection that gets lots of accidents.
Used to was been a brake pad from a bicycle.
