Sparkymart Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm putting together a small tool kit for my forthcoming trip to le Mans in the Westy . I'm thinking clutch & throttle cable, Fuses , jubilee clips, insulation tape . As for tools if I'm Not careful I'll end up needing to take a trailer full for the just in case tools . I need it keep it to a minimum as I've got to get camping gear in as well so any tips grateful excepted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 That was a really handy list Marcus, with the addition of a few bits and bobs, like silicon self amalgamating tape for hose repair, some spare nose cone grommets, (I seem to have developed a habit of loosing them ) and spare exhaust bobbins, I actually had two spares, but then there were three of us! It's pretty much what we took. In addition, we were all on 15" wheels, so the space saver spare I carry on the back of mine, would have fitted any of our cars for temporary mobility. Dont forget those locking wheelnut adaptors if you need them too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also on the list should be metal putty which saved a boghouse brake fluid leak on a mad dash to the ferry terminal, I also carry a spare zetec thermostat housing as that easily gets cracked on a standard zetec if you bottom out on / off ferries etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryathome Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 When we put the Euro trip tool list together I thought we were going to build a spare car with all those tools never mind driving somewhere. Take note: The tools list was split between the 4 or 6 cars on the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
