Here's the Bulley Toolkit:
A "multi-screwdriver" (five interchangeable bits in the handle)
Vice-Grips(r)
Electrical tape
10 feet of insulated wire
a dozen Scotch-loc(r) cable ties
A spark plug wrench
2 spark plugs
A small spray bottle of Teflon lube

We have lots of other implements in the Westy that are handy for fixing:
knives, aluminum foil, etc. These tools live in a little leather pouch in
the tiny cave above the closet.

Hi,

When we go on a trip with the Westfalia, I grab a bunch of tools put it all
in
an old sock and put it under the driver seat. I usually forget something
but
with a bit of improvising you can go along way.

Therefore it is time to put a dedicated tool kit together.

Any suggestions what tools to bring on a trip?

3/8" metric socket set
screwdriver set (2 x flathead, 2 x philips)
needle nose pliers
adjustable wrench

What about parts?
hose clips
oil
coolant
belts - Anyone tried to use the adjustable belt made up of plastic links?
