[Healeys] Where does the bolt go?

[Robert Duquette]

I looked for more than a half of an hour.  It's there somewhere ... 
:)  When I saw the little (brass) nut it was black.  I tried a few times to
grab it with the magnet.  It wouldn't.  Then finally, I "pushed" it with the
magnet to dislodge it and have it fall to the floor.
