#1. That reminds me of a Ford Exploder I once owned. The flap/door in the plenum would swing freely and you lost your temp control. Official fix was to pay 2 or 3 grand to disassemble your whole dashboard. My redneck fix was to cut the bottom out of the plenum, rig the door to a coat hanger wire and wooden knob, then JBWeldvthe bottom back on the plenum. Worked pretty good and didn’t cost more than an hour or so of my time.
I know the feeling. When the tail gate latch failed on my 97 Ranger, I fixed it with 2 hook and eye gate latches. Worked fine. Let's not even talk about what I did with the seats.
A little boy and his grandfather were looking at the after effects of the previous nights rain. Seeing a nightcrawler, the grandfather told the grandson that he would give him $10 if he could put the worm back into the ground. The young lad ran into the house, got a can of hairspray, sprayed the worm and held it straight until it dried. Then he inserted the worm into the hole. The open mouthed grandfather gave him his $10. The next day the grandfather saw the boy and handed him another $10. The boy said, " why are you giving me this"? The grandfather said, " That's from your grandmother". Erectile dysfunction solved.

DeleteWhat is #4?
ReplyDeleteLooks like adhesive-backed Velcro to retain a loose power cord.
DeleteLaptop powercord with a piece of velcro glued to a washer to hold it in place on the laptop. Sometimes those ports get loose with usage.
Deletelooks like power port for computer. Stupid power cord kept falling out
DeleteI love Velcro, Velcro is your friend. I started buying rolls of double sided Velcro on Amazon.
DeleteOSHA would not approve. Then again, OSHA can go shit in a hat.
