I always like to have a short (2-3 ft) length of bailing wire and
wire cutters. It doesn't take up much room and I can do a lot with
some wire in fixing things. 'Seems like we discussed this on the net
some time ago but I failed to copy it. I'm going to have to come up
with a tool/parts kit to carry around in my MGA. Wasn't there a list
of the minimum tools & parts on the list a while back. I guess a start
would be:
flat and phillips screwdriver
pliers
socket set
adjustable wrench (Whitworth on the carbs)
small ballpene hammer
black tape
wire/cutters
points
plugs
flashlight
(Note: pre-set gap on plugs)
That compressed air/sealer in a can for flats
fuses
Have I left out anything? This is the minimum for around town. For
long trips, I'd add more such as fuel pump, carb float, maybe a water pump.
Good luck..
