I'd carry a new fuel injector (1) and a fuel pump.  I'd probably not take the
bearings... (bearings are pretty universal.  And available worldwide)  I'd
leave the springs.  Broken ones can be repaired.  And they're heavy!!!  I'd
hit the boneyard and pick up a complete set of relays from under the dash of a
parter.  I'd take a radial tyre plug repair kit and a 12v compressor.
Distributor cap and a set of plugs! CV joint bolts.

I assume that you've seen "Journeys Under Difficult Conditions"?
