well lets say he probably JUST got home ? or off the road ? Out there at times you gotta do what ya can !! Outback is outback !! Lol in rally days Ive used seat belts to hold suspension to finish !
Had few failures over the years . Mainly due to pushing engineering limits . The block was split when boost control pipe came off . Data log showed 22lb . Have MAP, boost control on seperate lines now . Plus overboost function . Better fail
never split a engine blocl like that but have destroyed a few gun and rifle barrels by pushing the limits when reloading.
also blew the face off a d9 cat dozer blade, me and another guy had spent all night refacing the blade, he was finishing off about the last 5 inches when the internal pressure got to much and torn the face open like a tin can.
all these events mode very loud noises
cheers

I've done a few, used hose clamps to hold an undercarriage down for a flight in a Cessna 421 from Horsham to Moorabin. Used a 44 gallon drum as a fuel tank to fly an aircraft out of the bush. Had a Beech baron with a busted elevator trim cable, couldn't repair it, because it had been modified, ran the cable down the inside of the fuse between the seats and mounted on a pulley bolted on the main spar, the pilot had to pull or push the cable to make it work we flew that home. Have strapped a slightly bent fuselage up with steel bracing, to fly it home, I sat in on the flight home and watched the rear for movement. Done more, but my days of flight are over.
The things weve done ? Just to get home or job done ! Seems bodgy and dangerous now !! But what else could you do ? Like I said to my school teacher why I was later for class ? I said the shaft broke and went straight up the horses ass !! Teacher said rectum !! I said NO bloody near killed him !
Well ?? Atleast we have food and bed with us !! Lol I had a farm
Bike . It only broke down
When I was at the back
Of farm !! The tenth time I left it there . Walking home . Jumped into car and bought a new one . It sat there for 3 years !! The bloody chain came off !!
