  2. That is going to fail after just a few miles. The repair would be much more durable if they had remembered to put JB Weld on it.

    1. Oh no, those are the good stainless steel hose clamps, not the cheapie aluminum crap, it's good to go.

    2. Drive screws are not stainless and will rust in a couple years if used outside, especially with lawn sprinkler fittings.

  3. Looks like something on a ewe-tube channel called "Just rolled in" that is all about bad car repairs like this that car mechanics are asked to fix.

    1. I'm subscribed to that channel. There's some serious beaters there.

  4. I found those pieces next to a foot deep by 18" long by just over tire width wide pot hole on the road near my place when I was out for a walk a couple years ago. The pot hole had been there for while over the winter and was fixed shortly after I found the broken spring sections. Whose ever spring that was probably sued the city for the repair cost.

  6. I sort of like it for a field expedient "limp back to the house" repair but by the rust at the break point it's been that way for a while.
