[T3] Items to keep on hand in a 72 FI Squareback

[Keith Park]

I don't see any front torsion bars on this list :-)
I used to carry a half shaft too, but haven't in recent years.
Extra wheel bearings...
Starter
Generator,
FI stuff....

As Clint would say "a man's GOT to BE PREPARED"

:-)

- 10mm & 13mm combination wrenches + a small set of sockets  & ratchet
- screwdrivers
- pliers
- the little U-shaped hub cap  puller
- OEM lug/sparkplug tool
- long extension bar for the ratchet  (very handy lever for pulling hubcaps 
with the U-shaped puller; also works  well with the OEM lug tool)
- 4-way lug wrench
- scissor jack
-  folding wheel chocks
- jack stand; I never reach under a car that's on a  jack
- Yes, I have an extinguisher.
- quart of ATF (if applicable)
-  long-nosed funnel to reach the AT filler
- a combination wrench that fits  the generator pulley
- mechanic's gloves
- rags
- scissors
- a 12"  piece of 2x4; there are just so many times that it comes in handy
-  fix-a-flat
- cheap rain poncho

Things Under the Back  Seat:
- spare distributor cap (just because I happen to have one and it's  small)
- spare voltage regulator (ever since the day the points welded shut  on 
mine and I happened to have one for another project in the car)
- bits  of wire and miscellaneous connectors (including the tiny ones that 
fit the  FI), wire crimper
- jumper wires with alligator clips

I've  used every item in this list except the fire extinquisher at least  
once.


I know a lot of VW drivers also carry a spare  throttle cable.
 
Are you sure your name isn't Keith Park?? I think he carries all of that  
on an Invasion, and then some. :O 
 
Note:I do think it's a good start. : )
