HELP! Need new magnet in T-Case!!! (Where can I get one?)
I am doing my slip-yoke eliminator conversion this weekend. While
cleaning the magnet that goes in the bottom of the case, I
accidentally dropped it (from less than a foot above the
ground...these things are fragile!), and it shattered.
I need a new magnet!
So, does anyone have some suggestions where I might find one (specific
stores would be great; I live in the Denver, CO area) that will
replace this washer-shaped magnet? Would any old magnet of the correct
dimensions do? I really would like to get it today, if possible;
however, I realize that may prove impossible, with it being Sunday.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated, whether the suggested
location is open today or tomorrow.
Thanks!

Salvage a magnet from an old dead hard drive if you have one.
The stronger the better. Those are usually powerfull enough to
pinch your fingers so they will hold well.
That magnet is just to collect metal from the original assembly
as the parts wear in. Usually it doesn't collect much more after
that.

Re: HELP! Need new magnet in T-Case!!! (Where can I get one?)
Does it matter if the new magnet is the same size/shape exactly as the
old one? I've been putting effort into finding a same-size, washer
shaped, (with hole in the middle) magnet, as near identical to the one
I broke as possible. Is this a pointless search? Can I just use any
strong magnet that fits in the slot?

The only thing it has to do is stay put and not get into the workings.
I've seen several magnets in the "help" part section that just stick on
the outside of the pan. Got a couple of hard drive magnets stuck to the
tranny pan and oil filter just for giggles. Sometime this year I'm going
to drop the tranny pan and replace the filter. Will see then if it did any
good.
