Best things to add to to online shopping "cart" before you hit submit
 

Imagine you're on pelican parts searching their parts catalog. You've already got to pay shipping, and you've got all the parts you need for the upcoming job ...
So what little item are you forgetting about that needs to be added in???

I always run into this problem but there really are some good items to always keep in mind. Some of them being the aluminum oil drain washer and an oil filter, maybe a couple light bulbs for the tail lights, even a number of screws that you need to fill some missing holes.

Before I click submit, I wanted to ask you guys what are the most valuable little pieces you add to your online shopping cart in the last minute?:confused:?

Hose clamps. I hate to have to run out and buy the perforated ones at the last minute.

Fresh oil drain plug and/or drain plug seal. I hate to change the oil and have the drain plug leak. Your feeling of accomplishment can get quickly squashed when you start up the motor and see an occasional drip at the bottom of the oil pan - no!

Anything rubber in the general vicinity of where your are working, such as hoses: coolant, vacuum, fuel, air, etc. While seals are generally included in the kits such as front engine or head gasket, hoses are not...

Mahle oil filters, can't find them locally.

last minute items
 

wiper blades, DME relay if you do not have a spare in glove box, spare fuses, oil filters, various lights bulbs, spark plugs, brake pads, silicone house for vacuum line replacement.

Off the top of my head there is my contribution.

I recently picked up new rubber pedal pads, for clutch and brake - less than $2 each. From paragon.
