    What is needed in a travel kit ?

    Greetings.

    Over the weekend I had few issues with my '68 while away from home - If I had a "travel" kit, I would have been able to repair the 2 issues (failed battery regulator and gas/fuel leak).
    Therefore, I seek your advice about what would be the "right" travel kit when away/travelling.
    I'll keep a list hereafter.

    Travel kit content.
    ---------------------
    Battery regulator (x1)
    Fuel/Gas hoses (2 m)
    Fan belt (X1)
    Fuses (at least one of each Amp)
    Tying Wire
    1.5m of 2.5 mm² Electric Cable
    Spark plugs (x6)
    Ignition Rotor
    Ignition contact
    Condenser (if not running on CDI)
    Distributor cap
    1 long ignition cable with spark plug connector
    Electric fuel pump (x1)
    Spare wheel+ air in it
    Proper jack (x1) and stands (x2)
    Spare Bulbs (driving + position + indicators)
    Zip ties
    Insulating tape & duct tape
    Torch light on battery (charged or new)
    Cheese (either Comté or Brie de Meaux)
    Bootle of wine (1 or 2)
    Fresh baguette.


    Toolkit with all correct tools in.

    For electric fuel pump : electric fuel pump otherwise membrane
    Spare wheel+ air in it & Jack & wrench
    Spare Bulbs
    Zip ties
    insulating tape & duct tape
    this genius flashlight - highly revommendable

    Usually what you have on board doesn't break


    If you are running any of these f**ing replacements for a proper contact have a contact as a spare because there you see what's going on if your ignition fails.

    Cool Uli and thanks - wonder if anything can be added here ? A proper jack and jack stand (x2)?

    Weight starts to be an issue in itself though .

    For tools there is some stuff from Wera that doesn't take too much space and is proper quality.
    http://products.wera.de/de/kraftform..._28_kk_25.html
    Advantage if you get a stubby handle you have also a short screwdriver.
    However I prefer this one for the road - it takes a little more space but you have a proper screwdriver without the bulky bitholder and the stubby on top.
    http://products.wera.de/de/kraftform...pter_88_1.html

    And then there's that one. I know all multitools are crap but this one is at least working compared to the chinese knock offs which are utter useless
    https://www.wiha.com/de/produkte/mul...r-sb24601.html

    For jacks some guys take the 944 aluminium jack for weight saving. And the spare fuel pump could be a pierburg they are very lightweight.

    WOW ! thanks for the details - highly appreciated.

    Am still surprised no one is proposing a travel kit ready (appart from the Porsche replica set) - am sure that would help a lot some of us.

    You might get some other ideas from the contents of the 911S Travel Kit Parts List, 901.721.907.00.
