Is this a permanent solution, or a "get you to a garage" solution?

tin foil....its used to cook things in so surely it would just melt it, for sake of 4/5 pints id get a proper bracket or get it welded

if you needed to use cable ties for extra stability, you can buy steel cable ties that work a treat, try looking on ebay. i got some from on there before.
