Badger repair man

‎So I got to spend new years afternoon under badger. Went to get something out of one of the storage bins and noticed the exhaust‎ pipe that comes from the generator built in at the front of the bus was a bit bouncy. Looked underneath and found that the rubber strapping holding the bracket together was busted through and about 5 feet of pipe was bouncing around on the end of the manifold.

Had to go out and buy an imperial socket set to get the bolts off; managed to get them all undone without too much swearing, then cost me all of 5 bucks for a new bracket with some suitable rubber I could cannibalism. All back together again and ready to hit the road tomorrow. Shame about the $80 for the sockets, but I'm sure they will get plenty more use in the coming years.
