Also putting together a "roadside" kit of extra parts as things fail on the 912:

• gen pulley
• gen nut
• gen belt
• extra shims
• accelerator link
• duct tape
• anything I am missing?

Choices for rotors are solid unless you want to do a lot of work to fit different calipers (another thread's worth of discussion). Pads: your choice; I like Ferrodo and keep Textar in stock.

My 'in the car' list (in the car all the time)

• Oil (Valvoline VR-1 20W-50, 2 qts)
• Generator pulley (both halves, hub, extra shims)
• Generator Belt
• Ignition tune-up (points, condensor, rotor, cap, spark plugs)
• Electrical tape, 25' 14 gauge 2-wire speaker wire, electrical crimp connectors
• Fuel line, clamps (3', x4 clamps)
• assortment screws, bolts ,washers, nuts
• assortment fuses
• safety wire, nylon wire ties (you could have patched your accel link with either)
• Valve cover gaskets (2)
• Nitrile gloves
• Rain gear (old golf jacket, pants)
• Tools (good cheap selection from home improvement store)
• Tire gauge
• old golf towel, roll of paper towels (in ziplock bag), duct tape (in ziplock)
• 12' nylon web strap (for emergency towing, pulling; in ziplock)
• LED flashlight
• Reading glasses (cheap drugstore type)

For long trips:

• Oil, 4 additional qts
• First aid kit
• complete ignition system (coil, distributor, hi-tension wires)
• Complete rocker shaft assembly
• Generator regulator
• Fuel Pump
• Sealants, aerosol brake cleaner, Loctite blue hi-temp
• Grease gun (for ER poly bronze suspension bushings)
• Small bottle brake fluid
• 1 qt transaxle grease
• Rain-X window cleaner
• Large torque wrench with soft socket for alloy lug nuts
• Valve adjustment specialty tools (Stubby screwdriver, handled 0.004/0.006 feeler gauges, 13mm long combo wrench)
• 1/2" drive ratchet with 1/2 to 3/4 adapter, 36mm socket for gen pulley nut
• Timing gun
• Dwell/RPM/Electrical meter
• Carb sync tool (Motometer or equivalent: what ever works best on your carb type)
• Large 5 mil trash bags (2)
• Energy bars, gum, bottles of water

There are probably things I've forgotten; I would have to go through the travel bags... Here's a photo of what it looks like (before 1st cross-country trip), minus the case of wine. of course.
