I was noodling around on my S3T tonight and I knocked my right side fuel tank isolator into the hole in the front cylinder rocker box cover! I'll bet that's never happened to anybody here. I managed to fish it out through the space between the push rod covers.
I know, it's supposed to be glued on the frame. Well mine got old and the adhesive let go. I should have taken some pics, but I was just amazed that the thing would drop in that hole! Just my luck.

The tank iso at the top of the pic fell into the hole in the rocker box cover.

Ahhh, 3M Weatherstrip adhesive (the somewhat nasty yellow stuff) to the rescue!

Just clean stuff well with iso alcohol, and for a really sano install a masking tape 'shield' works well. Just be sure to remove it right away.

And what are the chances that a 1 inch piece would fall into a 1.1 inch hole. Thought I was the only one that kind of thing happens to.

You were lucky it fell into the head well ...

Little 3M weatherstrip will fix ...
