My heater hose broke!! right at the oil cooler fitting, looked like a pre moulded hose and expensive. So , I removed it, turned it upside down and reattached the un damaged end to the oil cooler. Then trimmed off the bad ,oil soaked stuff, and about four inches of good hose. soldered a 3/4 copper elbow to about six inches of 3/4 copper pipe and shoved it all together , shoved the copper into the undamaged hose and the four inch piece onto the heater end and clamped it up. got the radiator,engine and heater flushed all at once. Something I had been meaning to do this spring anyway. Seabees strike again. all this at no expense.

 

Damn, and all on the side of the road using just a flashlight, Bic pen, and a pair of tweezers, right?

(: Glad to see you caught it before it killed your engine.

 

MacGyver would be proud.

 

haha. Youre funny

 

wow! where were you able to get the flashlight?

 

Hey. You remember the time Mac was riding in a jeep and the return spring for the throttle on the carb broke. So he took a ballpoint pin apart for the spring in it and rigged it to the carb? What a hero.

 

I remember one episode he made a mini rocket launcher out a pen or something.

i remember one where the brakes went out and he riged the damn power steering pump for brakes lol what a guy

 

I have however used the core carbon on a d cell to make a distributor center button. just to get my girl home on time (Her dad was a big un )

 

flashlight? I keep 2, one in each storage bin.

 

Yea theres basic essentials that you need to keep in your seven, like oil, paper towels, and oil, and did i mention OIL. lol

 

I remember that one. Suprised how he wasn't getting burned up lying on the motor

 

oil? I gotta throw some in my 7, but in my other cars, I've kept a bottle of about every fluid you could need, including ATF, and I usually drive a manual!
