Our essential toolkit, neatly wrapped in an oily rag. The bikes were stubborn and frequently broke down. It would take a good hour to get them going in the morning and then several breakdowns during the day.
We took out and slept with the spark plugs and battery at night to keep them warm, which seemed to work, but patience for this race was essential.
Tools used to perform this retrofit:
The Gibson Les Paul Handbook by Paul Balmer ($16.50 from Amazon)
Dremel™ rotary tool (grinding, fret polishing)
Screwdriver with hex head socket, multiple tips stored inside
Hex bit for the above, to use sockets
Deep 1/4" socket, for jack and pot nuts
Narrow walled 5/16" socket, for truss rod adjustment
Small Phillips and Standard tip jeweler's screwdrivers
Wire snips and needle-nosed pliers
Multimeter, digital auto range ($13 on eBay)
Pair of alligator clip leads
Micrometer, with digital readout ($12 on eBay)
X-Acto™ knife
Small pistol-grip battery-powered drill with hex head socket
Turbo Tune string winder, pulls apart for drill use ($8 from Stew-Mac)
Helping Hands clips w/ lighted magnifier and soldering station
25 Watt soldering iron (pen type), chisel tip
Desoldering bulb, solder wick for cleanup
Solder, 60/40 resin core
Wire strippers
Bright halogen desk lamp
Acrylic ruler with metal straightedge to check fret level (not shown)
Also essential: Besides a few cleaning/polishing products, three large thick bath towels to lay flat or roll up, to both support and protect the guitar.
Don't let a fear of soldering prevent you from doing your own guitar work. If you can play guitar, you already have more than enough dexterity to do it. Basic instructions and how-to videos are all over the Web; spend five minutes to learn and five minutes to practice, and you'll have it down well enough. Just remember:
1. Heat the part, not the solder; apply solder to the part, not the tip.
2. Don't get the parts too hot. That can melt insulation or fry a capacitor (I've 'cooked' a few pots and ruined them from excessive heating after lots of pickup swapping). Using hemostats or aluminum heat sink clips (even larger alligator clips) can keep things from overheating.

Time was, a car would come with a comprehensive toolkit, with maybe even the odd spare bulb, as here. Nowadays you don't even always get a spare wheel - my last new car came with a can of instant "tyre repair" gunk, or, add added cost, a "spacesaver" spare, or, at even more added cost, a full-sized, proper spare wheel. Of tools there were none, save for a locking wheelnut socket, wheelbrace & jack.
This is more like it, though, a nice set of bits and pieces, right down to feeler gauge and tyre pressure gauge. I seem to remember that the Soviet Moskvich cars were especially good, being supplied with sufficient tools to do a complete engine stripdown and rebuild at the roadside, should the need arise.
This particular set is the "small tools tray" from a mid-1970s Rolls-Royce.

In December 2009, Social Wendy Group clients and colleagues got a preview of our new Social Media Marketing Toolkit & Web Portal for Executives in a special VIP Social Media Breakfast edition of our LIVE@ Events.
Throughout 2009 the Social Wendy Group was busy on the edge of the social wilderness with our clients- a bit like Lewis and Clark at the time, traveling together side by side. Now, having lived out here, we have a GPS for 2010.
Social Frontier: Executive Toolkit, Keynote and Web Portal
The Social Frontier is where we are at today. We are on the edge of the wilderness exploring new territories with new tools and are translating emerging social consumer behaviors into social marketing strategies.
Social Frontier Key Themes:
2009: Big Fear, Tool Focus, Participation Acceptance

Expect: Social Consumer Behavior, More Mobile, Shift to Strategy, Early Adopter Drop-off, Goodbye Sex Appeal
The Social Frontier Keynote is available for customization for events, conferences, and social media training sessions.

Social Frontier Update (June 2010)
The beginning of 2010 has been a busy time in the newly blended world of Social Media and Mobile Marketing as we continue to create innovative social marketing strategies into client web development and marketing plans. We know that the balance of 2010 will continue to focus on the rapidly escalating Mobile Marketing space and that Geo Location and Real Time will transition from Trend and Buzz Word status to day in and out marketing tactics and social conversation strategies to further engage the new social consumer.
We are excited about the rest of 2010 as we have some exciting social events, Foursquare campaigns, and advanced social strategies in place with our clients that will truly pay off in ROI for them yet this year. We continue to build our library of social campaign case studies with real life examples of the good and the challenges- our Social Media Boot Camp agency clients get to see the unabridged version complete with screen captures and surrounding social pr tactics.
The Social Wendy Group has uniquely positioned itself in the social media space since 2005 by deepening our social and mobile marketing expertise, creating innovative and award winning campaigns for our clients and their causes. We continue to be on the edge of the Social Frontier&trade with our strategies, social event production and web development initiatives- just ask our Fortune 500, agency & industry thought leader clients.
