I’d never seen hose clamps before. I would just have used those long nosed mole grips. I’m just a keen bush fix bloke though
Crikey!Here’s my sort of bush fix. No more brake pads and the ones I had had fallen out in deep muddy tracks. The fix worked and we drove over 200km with no brakes to the next big town with a parts store
Very nice kit. I may invest in some.
Never heard of blanking plugs. I’m showing my ignorance here. I’m no mechanic. I can usually get home or to somewhere that can fix me though@Logsplitter You don't carry a set of hydraulic blanking plugs?
Shame on you, but the home made barbed wire looks great...
Thats a very good "bush fix", because you don't have to bleed the brake lines afterwards. Another solution would be to carry a homemade "dead end piece" for the brake line in your tool kit.Here’s my sort of bush fix.

Thanks mate. I’ll look into that for my Grenadier travels

Thankyou I’ll look into those plugs.
A pair of these plugs and corresponding female caps and you're good to go. No squishy brake pedal in your case, just an uneven shimmy from the rear
But that was an epic bush fix
Always carry a wire clothes hanger. It's useful for ... wait for it ... drying clothes ... and other stuff.Here’s my sort of bush fix.

Some would, I prefer not to. On my now long gone RR-P38, I used de-pressurise the brake line by opening the bleed screw on the calliper, unscrew the braided brake line, push a 50-75mm length of snug fitting clear pvc tubing over the exposed end of the brake line and plug/clamp the pvc tube to exclude contamination. Very quick and worked well.
I’d never use any form of clamp on a metal braided line. They’re not designed for it. If you do as a bush repair then replace at the first opportunity.
I used to.. for 40yrs..!Then I bought a "soft" SUV (Hyundai) which included 5yrs of service, I've become lazy in that regard. Then I realised that the reason I never took up smoking (other than a short lived pipe at uni (aged 17) because I thought that's what student and academics do..Actually, I just recognised them. Don't any of you do your own maintenance?
) was because I always busy with my hands fixing things.... so I didn't need to smoke .
I think they're for a different purpose ~ removing/replacing hose clips. The clamps are for stopping the fluid leaking out.
What would the world do without Amazon

There’s a pair of ratcheting clamps for pinching hoses in my kit. As well as the ratcheting pliers to expand modern constant pressure hose clips. Best of both worlds. No more jubilees
