This is not to pick on Ben, but to point out that there is a lesson to be
learned here. Tag it and bag it. When you take a car apart, save all the
pieces in little baggies with notes what they are and where you found them.
I had the Europa apart for over a year. I lost one part. It was a tiny
piece of the clutch cable hardware that genius here must not have put back
together right away before bagging the cable.
I saved everything. I saved bolts I knew I was going to replace (all of
them). I saved two bolts from the rear gearbox mount even though the bolts
were too short. The note in the bag said that I should buy bolts a
half-inch longer.
I am an astonishingly forgetful person. If I don't take measures like this,
nothing will ever go back together again!
