A fuel pump rebuild kit takes up less space
On long trips I also carry a spare fan belt and a spare set of hoses.
Walk yourself through the replacement of every part you carry a spare
for and make sure you take the tools needed for each swap. The right
screwdriver and a feeler gauge would come in handy if you need to
replace the points.
A roadside assistance card with long distance towing doesn't hurt. A
couple years ago on a 1000 mile plus each way trip I lost an alternator
in the TR. The electric fan took the battery down fairly quickly & the
free towing got me into a shop that could rebuild the alternator and get
me going again.
Have a good trip & VTR.
I'm trying to remember what a team.net badge looks like. All I
currently have on mine is the FOT badge and as near as I can tell it was
the only one at Triumphest.
