Didn't lose them. Had a few that were loose.

I am sure you'll find a fix for it, take your time though and fix it right before the bolt holes get wallowed out. Once that happens the case is basically junk unless you put inserts in it or do a bunch of machining to put some big dowels in it. Kinda like how a transmission mates to the engine. Gonna post any of your camera skills?

Well I'm hoping it isn't to much trouble. After all I can't build an axle.

Says the guy that cannot built an engine lol, seems to me I wouldn't take his word for it.
I know you can do some pretty good fabbing, seen the result of it, when you go creatively nuts

That looks like another great run! Nice pictures everyone. The "United Tunsten Mine", later renamed as the "Shooting Star Mine" is always a great mine to explore. Lots of rotten timbers at the very end though.

So that is the one that we were in? Or are you suggesting another mine in the area to check out (which would be a very welcome discussion BTW).

Vaughn springs has a Koi pond right next to the water tank, located off of the dirt road before you drop into the sand wash for Rattlesnake cyn.

Ha! Really? I guess there are a lot of things that I still need to explore in those mountains.

thank you MKjeepers , we will hit that spot first ,before Sidewinder/Motino.

If that is the mine off Heartbreak ridge trail it is the Shooting Star Mine. 2000 feet of timber lined winding tunnels. several splits left and right. Orange arrows on the walls to find your way out. Awesome! The koi pond is cool and there was quite a bit to look at one point.
