Required on-hand spare parts

[BigDBass]

What parts should be kept on hand "just in case". Besides "all of them".

So far:
fuses
light bulbs
points

Lately I'm thinkin' a half dozen 11-pin headlight switches...

[Headrage]

Throttle cable
Clutch cable
Spark plugs
Oil

the correct bulb for the alt warning light. valve cover gaskets. a small screwdriver to pull the idle jets with. a small can of compressed to blow out the idle jets.

fan belt..... all the above are what should be in the car along with the tools to put them in & on....and a Haynes book so you can see where they go...

Clutch cable is a good idea as Headrage indicated, but you should also have a spare clutch cable trunion that fits into the shift arm, washer and nyloc nut for the end of the cable. These items can be lost on the road if the cable breaks at the pulley while in motion.

Are you looking for a road kit or somethings you should just always have in the garage so you dont have to wait for mailorder.

[BigDBass]

Working on both, really.

I keep a small tool box in the trunk. I also keep a spare clutch cable, speedo cable, spare hose clamps and some bailing wire in the front trunk spare tire. I'm sure you could keep a lot more things but I try to keep it simple and try to keep the car running well so I don't have roadside repairs - but, my clutch cable broke once and so I keep a spare handy.

I have found that a Nyloc nut does not hold in this application. At least, not on my car. After a while, it gives up and starts slipping just like a regular nut. Now I just use two M7 nuts and tighten them together.

YOu can use the relay from the headlight motor if you need a round one on the road

It's been said before but the best insurance is the parts we have recommended and "AAA"..............

oh, then a little screwdriver to adj the idle on the ljet/djet f.i. systems, and a mutlimeter to chase the electrical gremlins, and a spare mps, a spare tps, spare tigger points...the beauty of fuel injection.
