Apologies if this has been covered in another thread but I couldn't find anything apart from the Travel kit bag on the Chimaerapages. Has anyone bought this http://www.racetechdirect.co.uk/search-subsection-... from racetechdirect?

Thing is I've probably got all the socket set/tools and really just need the bulb/fuse kit, longest HT lead, fan belt, spare otter switch and throttle cable.

Does anyone know where I can get a bulbs/fuse kit without having to shell out for this tool box from racetech? The rest I can get individually.

Things I have got so far:

Fire Extinguisher
Warning Triangle
Radweld
Rainex
Tyreweld
Duck tape
Jump Leads
Duck Tape
String
Heat resistant gloves
WD40
Spare wheel (room in the boot permitting)
Basic tools - molegrips, pliers, allen keys, socket set, screwdrivers
Torch
Steve Heath Bible
Fuel can

Things to get (apart from those mentioned above):

Cable Ties
Jubilee Clips
Super Glue
Oil
Water bottle
Electrical tape
Fuel Pump relay

Is there anything else worth taking that would be classed as essential?...I don't particularly want to go overboard and try to take everything for every eventuality! That's what the AA European breakdown recovery is for after all.

Thanks for your help guys (& gals) thumbup

The queues to get to the venue can be quite long... And hot... Extra water? Some food in the car.

Spare bulbs are also a requirement!

That's why I want to buy a fuse/bulb kit seperately....I believe a 40 amp fuse is also recommended? If the fuse/bulb kits aren't sold seperately does anyone know the best place to buy the fuses & bulbs from? Which fuse is for the fuel pump?
