I'm fond of the old "big ziptie on the axle/driveshaft" trick. Or jumping the blinker relay output to the horn relay input.

Stepdad is the one that taught me about the zip tie trick. I've been meaning to get him back for that for twenty seven years..

For the people you truly want to irritate, ziptie a good sized (M12, M14) bolt to the driveshaft. Will vibrate like the worlds ending.

Or be a solid bastard and do the ziptie trick with a stainless steel zip tie.

The bolt trick can do some damage flying off at several hundred MPH.

Is the harmonica attached to any intake or exhaust components or is it just whistling from air whipped around by cooling fans and vehicle motion?

Nobody can be trusted with zipties. They're like stop signs and philips head screws, almost always the wrong answer but used all too often because they're familiar and available.

Eh, bores can wander, sometimes badly, but as long as they are chambered correctly, they'll shoot just fine.

Until you get a hot round and that 8mm side lets go from an overpressure.... Apparently its a thing that has been happening with a LOT of russian artillery pieces because they're so poorly maintained and the bores are so shot out the barrels are exploding on them.

Russia currently active 203mm artillery (which was originally built in Ukraine) claim to have a nuclear round in media but i've never saw solid info about it.

The better answer here is cable tie seals.

We used to cable seal the dumbest poo poo at work, like people's bookbags in the rafters, that kind of thing. UPS had a rule for a long time that if a supervisor lost their clipboard/paperwork or couldn't produce it on demand you got in deep poo poo.

Those clipboards ended up cable tied in the damnedest places.

Edit: These little bastards.

So they might have one, but half of them are currently rotting into the back of a falling down warehouse in Chelyabinsk and may or may not work, and the other half never actually existed and are part of a mega yacht? I actually find that rather comforting, at least until the Taliban get their hands on the rotting ones.
