Help~~ Accident occured during install

Hi, I was installing Z-tube and I accidently dropped the bolt inside the hood. Size is about 1.5~2cm. I dropped it near the air box duct. Do you guys think I will be ok? When I dropped it, sounded like it's got dropped twice inside.

You should be able to find the bolt...

Remove the intake. Otherwise, the bolt will probably just fall out while you are driving.

keep a telescoping magnet in the glove box.... that, a 1/4" drive 10mm ratchet, small pliers and a universal screwdriver is about all you need for most items in the engine bay (for quick fix/swaps) - they all fit in the glove box with plenty of room for other stuff.

anyway - get yourself a telescoping magnet for future instances... a quick fish in the general location that it fell will almost always get it.

It might just be sitting on the underside cover. Take out a couple of bolts down there if the magnet doesn't work and look for it.
