IMG 2333  This is what the bums left me to deal with. IMG 2334  Nick vouched for this shop near his home. IMG 2335  The kit. Seems a bit odd to me they only give you one clamp. IMG 2336  So I got a second clamp and of course it was missing one of the nuts. IMG 2337  19 cents ain't too dear, but the extra trip to the hardware store was time spent. IMG 2338  Searching for high temp aluminum tape we find this.
IMG 2339  Interesting idea. IMG 2340  Looks ok at first. IMG 2341  In retrospect this may have worked if they gave you like 5x as much tape as this kit includes. Even then, maybe not. IMG 2344  Drive it for 20 minutes to cure it, they say. IMG 2345 IMG 2346
IMG 2349  We drive to the park, and a good walk is had. IMG 2350  Koba drinks outside waters. IMG 2352 IMG 2353  On the way home the thing falls off. The tape must have blown off first under pressure. IMG 2354  Stronger measures are required. IMG 2355  That'll hold that a little better.
IMG 2356  Not a lot of overlap here but we get through both layers. Some JB Weld around the opening tries to help seal leaks. It has stood up to one drive to/from the market so far.
