Velocita Rosso Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 After 2009`s experience, I think I will be taking very little in the line of sparesThe only thing that went wrong was a snapped wire to the distributor , a 1minute job, and the heat shield fell off from the carbsSo ,only the legal essentials and a few bits(will advise Rob) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don cook1 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I wonder if it's worth making an assumption that everyone will be taking basic tools, ignition parts, bulbs, oil and water etc, and confine the 'list' to things like special tools, head gaskets, valves and springs, alternators (special interest here), distributors, water pumps, clutches, fuel pumps etc, etc. Everyone should have at least the basics, who, these days, for example, would travel abroad without a pocket full of rotor arms! The list is very useful though, having availed myself of it on the last two occasions!My list will be with you asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep them coming!Can everyone ,who is on the 10 CR ,please advise Rob asap on your `Spares to be carried` list.He`s doing a great job,as in previous runs, on producing an SOS spreadsheetEven if you have to answer "Car number `X` is not carrying anything"This will allow the list to be available for the drivers briefing...............and that wont be longFor those who have been before you know how helpful it isFor those `freshmen` , you may just need that back up if/when the time comes...........and thats generally half way up a mountain!

venturer Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Car 67,-Tr5 on webers x3 and other nice mods. This will be my 1st time on the 10CR but, having completed a number of alpine runs over the past few years i have found the key is thorough prep rather than a bootful of spares. But i will have the following: set of spanners ,sockets and screwdrivers. fan belt, jack,tyre inflater stuff. bulbs and other legal essentials. hoses,top and bottom for radiator with clips. plastic securing chords,fuses ,relays ,points,condensor,(tho it does hav 123 electronic ignition). 2x5l petrol cans,-always needed with this thirsty beast. No doubt there will be a few more things,watch this space.., Hard to believe 2 months today it will all be over!, cheers, Laurence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Ok guys now 8 out of the 70 (some have dropped out) have sent me their lists.I know you think I may be going on about this but get your spares list to me via email ASAP. Please do not leave it until the last day or two. I know some of you may be still working on your cars, 53 Days seems a long way away but to place this in perspective, ITS 7 WEEKS AWAY.So not a lot of time eh!Best advice sit down and make a list of items you are going to need.Water, Oil. Spare belts. washers. alternators? fuel pumps (head gaskets) .what ever you may think you will need and will take.Easy EH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velocita Rosso Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Just imagine being stuck up a mountain pass,broke down for a simple spare.........who do you ring?Whilst over in France with a group of Triumphs ,one of my mates broke down .........took three weeks to recover his car home.A couple of hours after arrival at home , the car was back on the road..............just for the need of a simple spare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Barton Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Just need to sit down with my co-conspirator - Chris Rabbets in #32 - and agree who is taking which spares in which car, then we'll get a list over to you. Not too much point in me having anything much more technical than a large hammer and a tow-rope, given my mechanical numpty-ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
