Here's a few ideas: The phone number of your local towing company. The DeLorean parts cross reference. Phone numbers of the vendors and/or other owners you know who are knowledgeable about the car. A small flashlight. Latex or nitrile gloves. A big sheet of plastic to lay on or to put on the passenger seat to carry a flat tire on. One thing for sure: some copper washers for the fuel system! John Hervey has a nice set. If you ever have to crack open the fuel system on the road you risk dropping one of those suckers down into the valley of death. Then you're stuck. Since they are copper you couldn't even retrieve them with a magnet. Another thing you want is a jumper for your rpm relay. A set of metric combination wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, etc. A DECENT jack that will actuall lift the car, not the toy that comes with it and the very short handle that does not give you any leverage. A cheapy volt/ohmmeter. A wiring diagram, and a diagram of the fuel system and other major systems. Pictures you've taken of the car any time you've had it apart so that you can see how it goes back together aagin. Some cable ties. A tube of waterless hand cleaner and some shop towels. There's probably a bunch of other stuff too, but there will be a lot of people chiming in on this one I'm sure and you'll soon have a very complete list. -Joe Kuchan >From: Aaron Crocco <acrocco@xxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: DML <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Subject: [DML] What parts should I carry with me? >Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2005 19:34:19 -0400 > > > >I have been interested in putting together a small emergency tool kit >to keep in my Delorean so while I am on the road, I have common items. > The problem is that I have no idea what to put into this kit and >that's where you guys come in. > To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
