Because I read the news, along with some basic tools and some extra parts.
Don't leave home without it......... |
Re: What do you carry with you? I really think the canvas tool roll is the berries. Bucket boss has the expensive ones, but there are good ones for less than $10. Unroll it and you have all your tools.

Re: What do you carry with you? When we are on a long trip, we are usually outside phone range so I have to expect that if the car stops, I am the one who will have to get it going. I carry a set of tools (spanners, screw drivers, pliers etc,, jack and handle. There is a distributor and carburettor (never have needed either), some electrical wire, fan belt and test light. A spare tube (from when we couldn't get a decent one) is always there and a stick of Kneedit (an epoxy putty).
Because a repair might take a while, we have a toilet roll, food and water. We have had to make some what I think are clever improvisations but we've always gotten home. IMO, the best thing to take is the gap between your ears filled with knowledge about your car. |

Yes things can happen, but they can happen on a modern also. I'm certainly not going to let it spoil my fun. That said, I do carry a small tool box, Halotron fire extinguisher and a first aid kit 'just in case'. |
Re: What do you carry with you? Fan belt? Carburetor? Ok now how many of you have ever needed either one. I carry a screwdriver.

The belt, was after replacing the fan belt as part of "good maintenance". Did it while I had the radiator off, why not, I was there. Threw the take off under the seat. The new one separated about 30 miles from home, ( about a month old, maybe a hundred miles on it.) Put the take off back on and drove home. Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk |

Re: What do you carry with you? B]That is the funniest, most outrageous post I have ever seen! Hopefully after he gets his laughs he will send us his real list! Hahaha[/B]

Re: What do you carry with you? I did notice all that and no fan belt.
|
Re: What do you carry with you? Bob needs to add a couple of fuses and or circuit breakers, fire extinguisher, first aide kit and a fan belt. Maybe a trailer hitch and trailer... to tow the spare Model A. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
|
Re: What do you carry with you? When on a trip with other As, sure would be happy if I broke down and someone like Bob was with. More fun to quick fix and be on my way instead of ending my day waiting for a tow truck.

Re: What do you carry with you? Bob is definitely the guy we all want to be cruising with us. He should eat free at all the stops.

Re: What do you carry with you? The usual plus a bottle of aspirins, a few nitro tablets and a wire cutters.
The jack, spare tire, tool bag should go without mention. A roll of paper towels can be handy too. |
Re: What do you carry with you? The usual plus a bottle of aspirins, a few nitro tablets and a wire cutters.
The jack, spare tire, tool bag should go without mention. A roll of paper towels, as already suggested, can de handy. Did anybody mention dry hand cleaner? |
Re: What do you carry with you? I should have a tire pump and fan belt, but i can't find a tire pump anywhere. And anyone under 50 seems to be "What's a V belt?".
I do tend to carry a tiny bottle of oil. Swiss army knife, screwdriver or 2. adjustable spanner. And lately i've been reminded of the value of a packet of chewing gum. Can patch all sorts of leaks with that. Also, a candle and piece of soap. Amazing what you can lube or patch with those. A stick that you can carve threads into with a pocket knife is handy if you lose a sump plug too. Quote:

Re: What do you carry with you? Bob made a nice post, but I'm curious, I see masking tape in the bag but not on the list? Also, where's the head gasket? I didn't see it on the list or in the picture?
Something I try to do, is carry proven ignition parts. As in not buying new ones for the road kit. I'll do a tune up when the car is running fine, polish the points, and carry those. Nothing more aggravating than defective new parts. Except digging through all the junk I carry trying to find said parts. Anybody carry road flares? Or reflectors? Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk |
