Re-stocking my hangar - tools and consumables
I have recently purchased an RV-6 after having been out of aircraft ownership since about 2004. Since 2000 I have been living in a high-rise with no garage, so my garage was in a storage unit. Basically all of my consumables and all the aircraft related bits and bobs that we collect over time were thrown or given away. Now I have the unenviable task of restocking my hangar.
What am I missing off this list?
-Oil Aeroshell w100 (summer) Phillips x/c 20W-50 (winter)
-ASL Camguard additive
-Oil filters (ch48103) $21.75 ea)
-Spark plugs ($26.50 ea)
-torque seal ($1.95)
-anti-seize ($8.50)
-safety wire (.032 and .041, $7.95, $7.95)
-Oil cooler 3" scat tube ($10.98/foot)
-Spark plug gapping tool ($19.85)
-spark plug tray ($24.85)
-Brake linings (rapco 66-102, 2x $6.50)
-Brake rivets (br-1007 $6.75)
-Brake lining tool (delux $19.50)
-Glass cleaner (clearview $5.50)
-Aeroshell 22 grease or high-temp disk brake automotive bearing grease
-Bearing grease packer
-foil pans etc for cleaning parts
-Marvell mystery oil
-oil sample kit(s)
-Oil filter cutter
-Hose for oil changes
-Self amalgamating silicon tape (rescue tape at Ace)
-Red silicone engine baffle material
-touch up paint bottles
-hose for draining tanks

Fuel tank drain valve o-rings
caliper o-rings
A small air compress for maintaining the tires.
A long funnel for adding oil through the cowling.
more than one fuel tester.
spare pitot cover.
At least 100 of each size exterior screw and same for seat pan screws.
Plexi glass cleaner. I like Plexus.
McGuire's detail touch up. quick spray to wipe down the bugs.
A second set of tools for the hangar.
A crawler for cleaning the belly.
A gallon of mineral spirits for cleaning the belly.
At least one spare ful cap.
If you have a K&N air filter, I second having a spare. Replace with spare, then take the dirty one home to clean with the recharge kit and warm water.
Since you did not build your RV, you probably do not have a rivet squeezer. It is a little pricey for a non-builder, but I love the brake rivet dyes for the avery squeezer. I have used the normal brake lining tool.

Tool or consumable
Not sure if this would be a tool or consumable, what about a babe? She can sure lend a hand bucking some rivets, and you'll probably need to take her on some $1000 hamburgers when you are done.

I have an end T hangar with several sets of steel shelves, double size work bench with plenty of lights. the previous occupant put up high quality insulation everywhere and epoxied the floor.
I have been told in no uncertain terms by the SO that there will be no couch lol tho a dorm fridge and a microwave might make it in there!
