I know many of us are rushing to get projects completed that may have been off the road for months or even years. So, if you have a 914 that will have little or no road time before driving to the event what type of spares will you pack?
I'll start off the list with
Clutch Cable
Throttle Cable
Points & Condenser
Tag, you're it.

rarely more than once per trip, unless it's cold, dark, raining, and/or in a bad neighborhood, in which case, all bets are off ...

I usually carry a Tyvex suit to wear if I have to crawl under the car. Shop rags, paper towel and hand cleaner. All takes up so little space, and makes keeping clean, and getting clean so much easier.
