Bill you got a good number of spare suggestions. I carry a small
box with a few hydraulic rebuild kits with a few cotter pins and small nuts
and bolts - never had to use any of the kits but just in case, fan belt,
throttle cable, scissors jack and extra tools, 1/2 gal jug of coolant, some
oil and brake fluid. I think I would also suggest some rubber fuel line and
a spare fuel filter.
For the trip to SUNI in Big Sky, the last spare I threw in was a
spare coil. I took a side trip into the Big Horn mountains and part way in
the engine went silent. I was luckily at a scenic overlook and pulled right
in, opened the hood and let the engine cool. I figured either the fuel or
the spark died. I checked the fuel first - OK. Pulled the spare Ford
Yellow top coil out; used 2 jumper wires to connect it and the engine fire
right up. Drove to the nearest Town, Buffalo Wyoming and bought another
coil to mount in properly. I also had a throttle cable break at Big Sky,
the voltage regulator acted up on the way home, a misfire at altitude and
the right outside mirror glass fell out for some reason around the Little
Big Horn area. I think Gen. Custer's ghost needed a mirror and swiped it.
The voltage regulator got an alternator conversion. Misfires can happen
with altitude, I just turned around and went down to clear that.
So spare coil and spark plugs
Have a great trip and may nothing go wrong for you.

Here is the question. We have a fairly well sorted Mk1 Tiger where almost
everything has been gone through over the last 30 years and we drive it
almost every month with few problems. If you were taking it on a 2000 mile
trip what spares would you carry, assuming limited space?
