Raider Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Here's the place to list who is taking what spares.I'll have a set of spares for TR7s on a sale or return basis from S&S Preps which will also be of use to any Dolly 1850s and maybe a Stag tooI will have very few tools!

slate Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Right i found the notebook under the sofa where the kids hid it. Been browsing the forum a lot to think about, seeing as the 2000 is an auto think i better take a spare starter , alternater and probally a water pump as well as a selection of hoses, points plugs bits and pieces etc. Plus toolbox and 20 litre spare petrol can (will that be enough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Pete,I'm taking the following:Mk1 D'shaftRear wheel cylinderSet of padsSeal kit for brake m. cyl, clutch m. cyl and clutch slave cylSet of points, condensor,rotor arm, LT lead, Dizzy cap and one or two plug leadsSpare set of plugs- AJP could need them!Top and bottom hoseAlternatorSet of bulbsVarious hose clipsExhaust clampsSteel wireSplit pins1/2 inch heater hoseOlive for by pass pipeFluids:Engine oil3 in 1brake fluidGear oilInstant gasket muckVarious UNF nuts and boltsThrottle cableCable tiesSmall brake bleeding kitToolsElectrical test meterHazard TriangleBattery powered inspection lightCar jack + Axle standsComprehensive lightweight tool kitCamping kit + small stove+ sleeping bag + clothesAh, the joys of taking a big Saloon- no more attempting to squeeze everything into a GT6. The boot on my car is taken up by the spare as a 15'' wheel will not fit in the spare wheel well- if I do not get a third driver I will take out the rear seat- parts and tools in the boot, camping kit and clothes in the rear.

Raider Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 My goodness Chris - I know the boot in a TR7 is pretty big for a sportscar but thre won't be much space in yours :oI'll be taking -Plugs, points, condenser, rotor arm, distributor cap , accelerator cable, fan belt, pressure cap, all radiator hoses, clutch master/slave cylinder repair kits, bulbs, brake shoes and pads. Also water/antifreeze mix, Duckhams 20/50, brake fluid and various other second hand bits and pieces. I will also be taking a selection of tools including a torque wrench.I am going to try and take less than before as it's just extra weight that hopefully I won't need. I always have a dilemma tho - for example I have 3 sizes of ratchet sets with different combinations of extras. Also how many hammers do I take, a lump hammer, a ball pain, copper faced, all three or none at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Easy: 1 mobile phone containing phone number for Footman James (or whoever) from abroad) with charger. One credit card. Nice and light that way. Although I suppose some cars will need more spares than that ;)CAroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chriss Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hi MartinI know I have not quite got the kitchen sink in there, but it is less than we had for the RBRR04! But I can pack it all up neatlly and have space for a few GT6 spares if anyone needs the space!!Master cylinder repair kits are a good idea, a Halfords Hose repair kit would mean you don't have to carry hoses, but we could arrange to carry complemetary 1/2 sets. Pads and shoes! So we are doing the Col de Torini !! I'll bring a rubber hammer, you bring something more substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 Err - I haven't commented on the Col de Turini - but I have commented on the Stelvio which should be more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 All,I'm compiling a glossary of 'useful words' in French, German and Italian.In French, the distributor is " le delco".You knew that, of course, but it could explain a lot.JohnPS, later. And German for 'oil' is 'ol', mit umlaut on't 'o'. Good thing we're not going to Scandanavia, 'cause there that's 'beer'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chriss Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hi BurnerI think you have got the German for "hole in the exhaust" . The german for exhaust is something along the lines of Der Auspoof. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpith Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Don't forget that in some countries it is the law to carry a spare set of bulbs and a warning triangle!Just an idea guys & gals: Instead of everyone taking a separate tool kit, why don't you organise that each of you takes one vital tool? That way there'll be less stuff to lug around and you'll have more room in the boots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
