I got the basics of this Spares list from the Jim Werner Austin Healey pages (my wife has a Healey) and thought it was the most complete list I had ever seen. After you get over the shock of "How the hell will I FIT all that in the car??" you'll realize that (1.) you probably might not need EVERYTHING and, (2.) what you finally decide to take will probably all fit under the hood, even with a spare - it just doesn't take up that much space and you all KNOW you should have most of this stuff on board. Most will fit within the spare wheel depression.
If you're planning on driving any distance this next season, you owe it to yourself to put a spares kit together, just in case. After all, we're all driving custom cars and much of what makes them go can't easily be found at your local "Bubba's garage". I expect to have at least this stuff with us for the Northeast Caravan to Carlisle. Any comments additions or deletions are welcome.
OK, so here's the list:
