Spanners / Screwdrivers A/F and metric

Assorted bulbs including one new sealed beam headlight (outer Main/Dip) and one new sealed beam inner (for 2000 range, Stags and 4 light Dollies) blinkers and stop / tail

Six pot Accuspark distributor. All working in my 2500 until recently.

Rotor arms, condensers and points (from Lucas six pot distributor 25D) 

A full first aid kit 

Tow rope

Booster cables ( Garage quality whoppers) 

New fangled start and charge thingy which is brilliant

Spare heater hoses ( for 2000 range but could be adapted)

Spare fan belts. Hose Clips, fuses, exhaust gaskets ( 2000 range and dolly 1500 /Spitfire/ Herald three point triangular)

A 2500 S /TC manifold to head gasket.

I wondered what happened to Le Bucket- we followed you for miles up through Scotland then again through the bottom end of Wales.

Sounds like you are a man I need to keep up with as we're in a 2500 estate this year (assuming I get it back together in time), although I was planning a similar spares list myself it probably won't be quite that extensive...

Quoted from darrenspitty-

RBRR history

2004 … 1500 Spitfire … Buried it in a bridge in Jedburgh after Diff seized Ouch!

Oh, that was you? I remember seeing the car, and a few other teams already helping out, as we passed. We did stop to see if we could do anything but, as I said, there were already enough people there. 2004 was the year I co-drove for Keith Bennett so not in one of mine.

I'll post a "proper" list closer to the time as I finalise what we are taking, but so far we have:

Tools:
Imperial combination spanner set.
Imperial+metric small socket set (1/4" drive)
Imperial socket set. (1/2" drive)
Torque wrench (1/2" drive)
Screwdrivers
Wire cutter/crimp tool
Stromberg carb adjuster
Hammer, chisel, drift
Large adjustable spanner
Tow rope

Spares:
Dizzy cap, points, condensor to suit 1850 Dolomite distributor
HT Leads
Jubilee clips, petrol hose clips
Lengths of water hose
Lengths of petrol hose
Scotchlocks, lengths of wire, crimp connectors
Bulbs: H4 + "standard 70s selection"
Various 1850 gaskets (inlet manifold, thermostat housing etc.)
To be continued....

Consumables:
20w50 engine oil
AQF automatic gearbox oil
EP90 gear oil
Water
Petrol
Instant gasket/RTV compound

Safety:
Fire extinguisher
Hi-vis vests
Torch
Warning Triangle

We'll be running our 1973 Dolomite (1850 engine) so if anyone has any suggestions for extending the spares list I'm listening!

Reading your lists had got me thinking about what to take in our Stag. Here is my initial thoughts:-

Rotor arm

Dizzy cap

Electronic ignition unit

Spark plugs 

HT leads

Coil (6v)

Balast resistor

Power steering belt

Water pump belt (for EWP)

Alternator belt for top left position 

Fuel pump

Fuel hose

Carb diaphragm and float gaskets 

Throttle cable

Carb linkage plastic elbows

Wiper blades

Bulbs

Alternator (uprated type) if I can afford to purchase it

K seal

Oils and water

Grease

Tie wraps

Various wire and fittings

Tow rope

Various tools

 

Regards

Bruce

our problem will mostly be the lack of a boot... 

as everything is possibly different from the later triumphs our spares will be plugs, bulbs, delco, nuts and bolts, Oil and whatever we can think of and that fits in the restricted space, our spannering is limited to basic stuff, so no real point in bringing a spare camshaft....
