Strips of blanket wound into windscreen-wiper blades.
A tail shaft is easily replaced by rolling a car on its side.
Timber and fencing wire can fix a broken spring;
A door that won't stay closed can be sorted by knocking a wooden peg, latch-like, through the roof channel.
I`m sure the Thai`s would warm to this sort of stuff,practical and low cost motoring.  |
Yep a great TV series featuring aboriginal mechanical creativity in the bush...mainly with old Ford Falcons...who needs air when you can fix a tyre with tightly packed grass OR a fuel pump when you can reroute the fuel line thru the windscreen wiper pump?? ( makes for a pretty jerky ride , that one 555)
