I have found that most spare parts are are in the other persons car while on tour! I seems that when someone has a problem while on tour..from then on the carry that part as a security blanket. You can usally find a carb.,starter spring, head gasket etc... As for the world trip in 1982( long enough tour?)We had a very long list of parts divided among four cars. We only had one MAJOR break down...my broken rear axle (had one straped to the frame) but NO JACK STANDS...Took us 6hours at night with flashlights in the Syrian desert.
