Default Bolt In Rear Transmisson

My mechanic found a bolt in the rear diff. Apparently fell in when putting the cover on as it is a cover plate bolt.

Bolt was attached to magnetic plug.

Lucky! I have experience of a loose ball bearing being picked up by a final drive, the ball was rammed into the soft alu casing...a bolt would be more likely to jam and destroy something...
