As I continue to work on my daily driver, I am beginning to understand that some spare parts should always be handy. For example, I probably should always carry a spare throttle cable and clutch cable and their associated small parts along with a minimum set of tools. What other spare parts should I consider essential as I start to make longer weekend excurions?

AAA card's a good idea, but it's not going to help you if you break down out of cell phone range. A lot of the areas around where I live and travel are cell-dead. Plus, why would I want to sit on the side of the road for an hour+ just to have some dude in a truck man handle my car when I can likely fix the problem myself?
Here's what I carry: 1. Alternator Belt 2. Clutch Cable 3. Throttle Cable 4. Oil 5. Voltage Regulator 6. Spare ECU (yeah, I'm nuts) 7. Spare Relay(s) 8. Spare Fuses 9. Flashlight 10. Electrical Tape 11. Small tool box with as many tools as I can cram into it 12. Extra set of points and condenser in case my Pertronix unit takes a dive 13. Haynes manual I think I carry a few other things, but that's all I can think of without actually looking. |
