Cerbera tool kit

[NilsP]

I bought the Cerb partly because I wanted something fast to go on vacation.
But I'm beginning to realise that if I want to take that chance, I'm gonna have to take some spare parts with me
Can't stand a bunch of tools rolling around in the back so I made something that holds everything I need.

First I made a mould of the boot and layed out everything I wanted to take with me.
I ordered some hard foam and started cutting out everything.
3 band-aids later I had myself a cut-out.

Fitted nicely in the boot





Got everything from relays to big fuses, Alternator belt to throttle cable,...
Allen keys, ratchet set, ratchet spanners, screwdrivers,..

Now try and put me on the side of the road

Whilst your effort looks great i just put it all into a tool bag. Does the job, but pain in the arse when trying to find something.

I have a spare starter solenoid and if going on long trips I carry a couple of coil packs.

But as with us all still buggered with a flat tyre. Unless you want to use the foam anything bigger than a nail then it's breakdown cover any way.

As a semi mobile train fitter you can't carry everything but I like to think that better to carry it all and not need it then to breakdown and not have anything that a simple kit could fix.

For the flat tire. Got a Jack in the right lower compartment, a tire repair kit and a pump.
But indeed you can't carry everything. I mostly put in stuff that you cant find in other cars

OK, as a new Cerbera owner, I don't actually get the car until next Saturday, what are regarded as the essentials to carry on a longish journey ?

The tool and spares kit on the boot looks good but I have no idea what some of the parts are, the small tube with red end looks like Bob Heath Visor Spray, is it, if so why ?

I can't see me doing any long trips before spring, well apart from a few hundred miles getting it home, but it might be worthwhile collecting a few parts.

I think you should have a throttle cable or repair kit.
A big fuse, a relay of each and the two belts
+ oil and coolant.
And if you come over to the continent, its mandetory to have spare bulbs in you car in france and italy.

That looks great, would you mind letting me know where you got the foam from please?

Thanks!

Got the foam from a shop here in town.
They sell matrasses...
And can order any type of foam.
But they are plenty webshops as well.
Just don't order too soft
