What's in Your emergancy road kit?, What items are important to get it running again Options

I've been driving 914s for 25 plus years and have broken down more than once. Having some tools and extra parts comes in handy. This is what I carry along and was just wondering what everyone else had in their tool box. I have a wire tucked under the battery box that connects to the hot side of the fuel pump. If I don't hear it run for a few seconds when the key is turned on I connect the wire to the hot side of the coil to get me home ( if the pump isn't shot ). I also carry extra cables and jumpers. What else can we do to keep from calling a tow truck? Ray

That is the exact same tool box I hauled around the country in my 914 back in college! Perfect size as it fits in the front trunk nicely.

In addition, I had one of those cargo web/net bungee things that bikers use to strap stuff to the rear seat.
It stretched perfectly across the back wall of the front trunk, and to the spare tire cover-board and kept that tool box from moving around.

And I never had the stock jack. I kept a small bottle jack wrapped in an old sweatshirt next to the spare.
And one of those 4 way tire irons I found fit exactly inside the spare with jumper cables coiled below.
