This Jugaad sounds very similar to what we Kiwis call the "Number 8 wire" approach. (New Zealand is a long way from anywhere, so a tradition developed of making running repairs using whatever was at hand - specifically, farm fencing wire - in lieu of shipping out spare parts.) I personally find the mythology around this to be both a blessing and a curse at times.
