Re: holy crap, what a nightmare
Duct tape repair to a radiator hose, while not as adventurous as a duct tape fan belt it got us to the show. The show was one in a series of "battle of the bands" in hot mid July flea market parking lot.
Said radiator hose was on an early 70's Jeep Wagon pulling a trailer down interstate 75. My buddy says "do you smell something hot" about the time I see wisp of steam coming out from around the edges of the hood.
Got pulled over, anti freeze is blowing out of a split in the top radiator hose. All of the tools and duct tape is buried in box at the front of the trailer.
We had to unload 80 percent of the trailer just to get to it, picture a pile of stuff stacked along the guard rail of the interstate.
Many layers of duct tape fixed the hose, refilling the radiator was fun. The gallon of drinking water we had did not even start to refill the radiator.
After an off road hike to the outside faucet on a warehouse type of building to refill the water jug and a trash bag (only other thing we had to hold water) radiator was filled and we were back on the road.
Saturday morning fun about 1984 with a trailer load of what my buddy and I called a PA system.
