Many mechanics have bore scopes these days. You can look inside with a video camera. Maybe there is somewhere you can rent or borrow one if the magnet thing doesn't do the job. I would worry about losing the magnet if you used the surgical tube method. Flexible lighted magnets are available and cheap and you may just have another opportunity to use it in the future.

my nephew went to the doctor with a rock stuck in his ear..the doctor used a piece of tubing ..stuck it in his ear sucked on it and the rock stuck to the tubing and he pulled it out of his ear...So maybe a piece of 3/8" vacuum hose attached to a shop vac. may work for you...just a thought...

I have the flexible magnet, flexible 3 tooth snare. You just pull or squeeze to top and the 3 tooth jaw opens, release and they grip really really good.
I keep em both and I also have a flexible light so I can find it first. It is best to find it first.
Harley's eat bolts and nuts. Don't ask me how I know.
They have so many places they can fall to and not see or find em.

a buddy of mine in a tech at harley and he said to take the rear wheel off and unbolt the oil pan and it will slide right out. i guess i have to try that! cant get anything with the magnet or grabbers!! cant see anything with a mirror and a flashlight either.

Just curious and off topic, but are youhaving everything de-chromed first? Or can the P.C's just blast the chrome off?
