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?

My 914 just took Shar and myself to Scottsdale AZ and back and didn't even hiccup once. And I flogged the snot out of it while I was there. I put it on the lift and gave it the once over before I left. It's pretty damn reliable.
Anyway, on road trips I always carry tools, an accelerator cable and a known good distributor. I also had a AAA card, a cell phone and friends along the route. |
