Two weeks without a major mechanical issue was the goal and Red Pea made it. Along the way were four issues, none major. For example, the nose badge went missing. It hadn’t gone far though.

The mount studs were both missing.

I devised a replacement strategy so that instead of male threaded studs, I have female threaded studs. Whatever kind of fastener those are, they come with flat tabs on one end that invite the use of epoxy. The male thread version is called an elevator bolt. The ones I found were too large.

For now, it’s all back together.
