Looks nice in pictures......... Group: Members Posts: 5,271 Joined: 5-March 04 From: Colorado Member No.: 1,753 Region Association: None |
depending on the condition of the car, and the length of the trip, jackstands are never a bad idea.
relays, clutch and throttle cables, electrical tape and a FLASHLIGHT i also carry Gint's and Brant's phone numbers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) This post has been edited by TROJANMAN: Oct 27 2005, 02:03 PM |

Jeff, Do you also have the hardware for the clutch cable attachment at the clutch arm. The ny-lock nut, washers and trunion? When the cable breaks at the pulley these pieces, along with the broken end of the cable, usually leave the scene of the crime. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) This happened to me at an intersection once and after gettig a flat tow home I realized the parts were missing. I drove back to the intersection and found them still on the cable end in the street. They had been driven over a few times and were scuffed up a bit, but still usable. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Scott, The quart of tranny fluid on your list caught my eye. While on trips do you usually crawl under the car and stick your finger into the tranny fill hole to check the fluid level? Just wondering... I think I'll leave the tranny fluig in the garage. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Just joking. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) BTW, if you do want to top off the tranny while on the road, make sure you carry the proper tool to remove the fill plug.

volt meter would have been helpful on my last out-of-state alternator failure. I just bought one at harbor freight to go in the trunk for 3.99

The only battery powered soldering iron I know of is that Cold Heat one. I got one for x-mas a couple years ago. In my opinion, not worth the cost of the batteries that go in it. It might be able to tin the end of a 22ga wire, but that's about it. You couldn't do any real repair with this iron. If you are serious about it, get a butane soldering iron. Weller makes some nice ones that work awesome. Demick |

The next time you are at the beach, take that crescent wrench down to the water with you. Wade in till you're about knee keep. Put the wrench in your right hand (or left if you're a lefty), then throw it out into the water as far as you can! Don't worry, it's bio-degradable. Then go buy a cheap set of open, box end wrenches. Cheers, Elliot |

t-handle spark plug wrench with flex/u-joint type setup, and short piece of 3/8" fuel line to get the plug thru the tin. It works great on the teener and won't work on my other vehicles, so it stays in the trunk.

Does a spare 914 in the attic count.
Later, Don |

If you can fit it...good idea. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I typically carry all commonly used wrenches as well as an extention, common sockets and a 3.8" wratchet handle. I've also got stuff for electrical repair as well as spare FI pieces, duct tape (of course) a flashlight, a nifty little magnetic light that is powered by the cigarette lighter and appropriate cables just in case. Obviously a jack (I have an old Toyota jack since I have no factory jack points) and a wrench to change a tire are a good idea too. Spare clutch cable harware is a real good idea. Hadn't thought of that. |
