Norman:

Suggest the following - fuses, a full emergency road tool kit, a small spool of electrical wire, some electrical connectors, a small spool of tie wire, some zip-ties, a pressure-checked spare tyre, a few packs of chewing gum, and a fluffy rabbit's foot.

Enjoy your adventure!

There are a few spare parts that I would take with you; starter solenoid, coil, points, condenser. These are easily replaceable if needed and don't take up a lot of room. These are parts that can break down on a long trip.

Steel wire and tape plus some wrenches as it could be difficult to find the right size here...
