Re: Throttle return spring and baling wire
Perhaps to do with my age, born in '53, but I hate duct tape in all forms in automotive applications but baling wire has the look of a farmer repair in the 40s or 50s. And let's not kid ourselves, the baling wire still functions as it did when 'ol Grandad' fashioned it. Not so in 70 years with duct tape.
