Any bodges count that you've come across or done yourself! See now you'd of thought cable ties would make good mounts

is that some dodgy fibreglassing!? Or some kind of paste lol

My SJ kept cutting out, when i was in the middle of nowhere. Turned out one of the blanking bungs had fallen off the carb. Only thing i had to hand to fill the hole was a pencil. Sorry to say it stayed like this for a couple of weeks.
