Default Scissor jack and fix-a-flat

Hey guys: Steer me in the direction of a complete roadside kit in a small case, please. Alum. scissor jack, hockey puck for jack, tire plugs with plug tools, light....you know...the whole works...You guessed it..I'm brand new to the Corvette world, after waiting 50 years, but don't have the run-flats on. By now, there should be the ultimate kit for Corvettes....somewhere. Thanks.

I bought an inflator and tire plug kit from AUTOZONE. I don't have wheel sensors on my Z16, but I won't carry the sealant goop. For one thing, I believe the stem has to be in a certain position for the sealant to be injected. For another (maybe an old wives tale), tire techs have told me that sealant is a mess to clean up for a patch later. I carry a small leather shaving bag with spare belts, air pressure gauge, gloves, clean rags, metric sockets/wrenches, TORX bits, electric terminals, lengths of wire in four different gauges, telescoping magnet, small MAGLITE, pliers, teflon tape, electrical tape, etc. I just bought an aluminum scissors jack from EBAY. It was oem for a Porsche, but RX7 used the same type. I have BMW permanently installed frame pucks. I carry a HALON 2.5# extinguisher. GORILLA (through DISCOUNT TIRE) sells an expanding lug wrench with reversible sockets. This all fits into the three cubby holes with room to spare. I've always carried a full tool bag in case of emergencies, figuring it would never be required.

If you'll do a search someone was selling a couple of Z06 tire repair kits in the For Sale section.
