The '29 Chummy that was one of the three cars on our Buenos Aires to NYC trip in 2013, stripped the starter motor bolts in Davide, Panama. I had carried a cargo strap with me following Vince Leeks example when he held the front of his car together on an earlier Argentine trip. We fitted it around the body of the starter and under the gearbox, pulled it up tight and finished the journey to NYC, there starter never faltered. It now forms part of the distance journey pack I carry.
