Okay on a computer where I can actually type now:
IIRC, its been a few years....
What we did was take the duct tape and fold it in half, stick sides against each other. Then we did it again, and again. Once we had IIRC 3 layers of folded duct tape, we put it on tight, and then taped it together with a couple wraps.
It broke when the whole thing was under load while the jeep was climbing a rock. Broke again for no apparent reason. But we were able to repair the breaks and keep truckin.
I've also duct taped busted hoses, used duct tape to hold a battery cable on the battery, and god knows what else I can't remember. Jeeping is fun, you gotta be resourceful when someone busts something.
