well the thread seems to be more about the magic of old mechanics. They know how and why most things fail, what works, what doesn't. I remember talking to a couple of old techs when I was pretty green, they would have their old beater vehicle on the hoist to fix something. Then they would proceed to make a $0 "jerry rugging" repair, that if I attempted at that time, even with the same materials, would of failed almost immediately. somehow when the old mechanics do it, bubble gum repairs seem to last as long as the original warranty
