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.
