Not bad Idea if stuck on side of road. If I left something like that permanently, I would not let the world know about it. The worst thing I ever inherited from a PO was on my 240z. Baling wire was twisted around metal brake line and attached to throttle return springs on carbs. Potential for WOT with no brakes. The wire had worn a groove in brake line.

Ultra Conservative. ULTRA!
I've done It before with a gasser when, indeed, stuck on the side of the road. The gas broke the plastic down quickly, but it got us back home.
I fixed a USMC "dragon wagon" with a pen and zip tie. The throttle was operated by air and a connection had blown apart. So, I used the metal sleeve thingy found on military ball point pens to fill the joint and zip tied the two halves together.
Marines call it "field expedience" the rest of the world calls it a "rig Job" :hihi:

Only reason that failed is they use a Chinese made bic pen. Would have been fine with a Fisher space pen!

I wished I had thought to take a picture... went to look a 94 6.5 turbo k1500 a couple of years ago that had the pmd mounted to the inner fender, no heat sink, and a foil gum wrapper to keep the hydro boost hoses from rubbing- it ran like that too!
