Of my engineering work Hasn't fallen off yet

[carob]

Tie Wraps rule....Been saved many a time...Just ask the RNR crew.

Rob

[maston]

Totally agree carob

And as a bonus my new silicone pipe is fitted,much better throttle response

[carob]

Honestly...I have all kinds and colours of tie wraps keeping former wedges held together in the past.

Wildrover (Sandy) always carries an array of them and I tend to use the most...haha

So far touch wood...None on this one YET....LOL

Rob

[carob]

Is your AFM missing the adaptor plate there?

Rob

[maston]

Rob, the adapter plate is still there, the afm is held on by not only the cable ties but a very thin tool that I used between the afm and the plate (this was screwed on though) Quality engineering I'm sure you'll agree

[carob]

Innovation at it's finest....

Rob

[barrington]

you cant stop fiddling :-)

[RCK974X]

Cable ties and WD40 - the universal fixup tools.

Sooo many 'extras' held on (or together) with ties

I've even seen a motorbike with the end of its exhaust held on with ties - amazed they didn't melt.

Not seen an engine held in with them yet, but I've still got time.....I HAVE seen an engine mount generously wrapped in ties as a 'temp fixup' (Yeah, Right)

Add gaffer tape to that list

[carob]

Cable ties, WD-40,Gaffer tape.....I would still set out on a 100 mile plus journey no problem, wedge are resilient like there owners.

[Nigel Wallace]

Gaffer tape rules guys, you should all have a roll in the boot(trunk) by now! Haha , no AA required!

[RCK974X]

Oops, how could I forget the Gaffer [Duct] Tape ?? Bad mistake !

[Jack Valiant]

Ian ........ no hope for you fella!

Chris

[wild rover]

Things you must have in the boot, got them all. I also have silicon tape a worthwhile addition.

[mrzigazaga]

All i can say is....

Yahudi Menuhin
Ian Maston
All World class fiddlers.

[wedgeinald]

I was always taught...

If it moves and it shouldn't.......Gaffa Tape **

If it doesn't move and it should ....WD40

can't go far wrong with that IMHO.

** The PROPER UK Gaffa tape not that USA Duct-Tape rubbish! (sorry to our American readers...you can buy "Duct-Tape" in Poundland, REAL Gaffa tape is only availiable at places that sell DJ kit and the like.) I've even managed to get a (speaker) cable taped to wet grass and it stayed there with cars driving over it all day long!

Edit....

Here's one way of telling....if you leave a real of tape on its side on a table for about an hour and try to pick it up you can almost lift the table with the bond from just the edges of the tape!

Didn't they all leave the factory like that?
