Hmmm.
Stuck in the Alps with an exhaust that had fallen off. I used the wire from a champagne cork to temporarily keep it in place.
I have used a pair of pliers to pull use the clutch after a car broke it off.
I've used a piece of wire for a fuse when the headlight fuse blew. Yes it was dark.
Tie wraps to keep bodywork on.
I am sure there are plenty of others that have now been erased from my memory.
