Emergency Supplies

[ukkid35]

I'm off to Spa in ten days time for my first trackday of the year. I'm going to take a spare big fuse and crank position sensor, and of course zip ties and duck tape. What else should I put in my spares/tool box?

Thanks

To protect the intakes from debris if I have to remove the induction tubes?

Indeed - but it's just TF laps at the Ring, not sure I can afford a track day at the Ring again this year - although it is very very tempting.

You made the right choice (IMHO) an Open Lane Track Day at Spa is 1000 times more enjoyable and productive than the random chaos that is becoming a Public Circuit day at The Ring.

ENJOY !

Yes, but the weekend before Easter is usually very very quiet, which is why I'm hoping to do a few laps there as well.

Good Luck then, Kiddo !

Thanks - I would never have thought of that. How/where does the cable usually fail?

Many thanks - very useful.

Some stuff not on the list i would take or did take round Europe in the chim and did end up using.

Some Length's of wire 2 and 4 core
Spade Crimps
crimp tool

Very handy for knocking up emergency odds and sods to get you by.
I made the Hot start kit for my chim in Italy as it would not start after stopping for fuel until it cooled down.
