Very good ideas all. Actually the current kit includes some
shrink tubing, three sizes of cotter pins, and so forth. I'm
adding to what's already there. I also have a fair number of
grade 8 components (especially the all-important 1/4x24)
left over from Smudger's rebuild so they'll go in as well.

Yep, have the gasket set but hadn't thought about the gasket
goo. I'll be grabbing rebuild kits (one bloke I knew in the
UK actually carries complete BMC and CMC units) for masters
and Weber as well.
All sorts of good things can be put into a kit without taking
up piles of space. The worst offenders are the fluids, but
unless someone comes up with powdered antifreeze (!) there's
nought for it.
