Spare Parts

[ghiastein]

Riding home after the Fort Wayne Show a Beetle broke down on 69 north he was driving in a group so it was not that big of a deal. Well it got me thinking about spare parts to bring a long for the just in-case. The odd part is that I put a ton of miles on the Ghia back in 2003-2004 and I never carried any spare parts or tools lucky me.

Here is my list

Points and Condenser
Feeler Gage
Fan Belt
Spark Plugs
Spare Tire and Jack
Fix a Flat
Coil
Fuel Line
Fuel Filter
Hose Clamps
Tools
Light Bulbs
Fuses
Clutch Cable
Accelerator Cable
Fire Extinguisher

Well that my list any suggestions.

Your list looks good but I always take a fuel pump, Distributor, And plug wires as well. On our way to Effingham John had fuel pump problems but we didn't bring the right fuel pump for an alternator so we duct taped it and it worked for the rest of the weekend. So I guess I would add duct tape to the list haha.

I like the idea of the duct tape and fuel pump both of those items are sitting in my garage right now. i don't have a spare Distributor or a wires right now but good suggestions. I don't like the credit idea because we are not on speaking terms right now.
I have also found that a bit of sandpaper is very helpful in a pinch.
