Dropped nut into radiator fan
Discussion
I was showing some interested strangers my engine bay and managed to drop one of the nuts that bolt the main bonnet down into the radiator fan, which has disappeared into the abyss. It seems that there is a gap at the bottom of the radiator fan, which falls into a section at the front of the car, which I can see into through the holes in the front of the bumper (Mk1), with a small ridge with a valley behind it. I have taken the bolts out of the panel and gently prised it forward and got my hand in, but can't feel it.
Anyone have any ideas where it might have got to?
I did drive about 1/4 mile home from where I dropped it so it could have fallen out. I have already replaced the nut but just want to make sure it doesn't get caught somewhere it shouldn't when driving. It isn't obvious it could get caught in anywhere - really only the fan blades, but I think it should have fallen far enough it couldn't ...
