I took my ur-quattro to BR Motorsport a while back for some work on the fuel 
injection that involved repeatedly removing and refitting the air mass sensor 
assembly.  For convenience, Tim was taking out the air filter cover with 
everything attached and dismantling on the bench.  I was just chatting away, as 
you do.  When he came to refit the assembly into the car, I commented that I 
had made a tool for resnapping the catches out of a wire coathanger (in the 
trunk, next to the duct tape).  I briefly described it - a flat loop for a 
handle and nine inches of strong wire with a small hook at one end.
 
He grinned, and held up an _exact_ copy of the one I had at home.
