Default Annual Inspection Consumables

All,

Preparing for annual and trying to put together a single order of "consumables" that need replaced. I am thinking about the following:

* Oil
* Filter
* Oil strainer gasket - anybody got a p/n?
* Carb inlet screen gasket - anybody got a p/n?
* Brake pads (if needed)
* ELT batteries (if needed)
* Spark plugs (if needed)

Anything else?

Thanks
Scott

Air filter cleaner and oil
Air Filter (if needed)
Wheel bearing grease
Constant Speed prop grease (if equipped)
Spark Plug copper gaskets
Extra hardware (#8 screws, cotter pins, safety wire, etc..)

I am betting that others will add to both of our lists.

Plexi cleaner
Torque seal
ELT and remote batteries (if needed)
Oil analysis kit

Not exactly consumable, but I found it handy to get a few AN929 for the fuel system so I could remove the filter and pump with less mess or chance of debris entering the system. Combined with AN815 unions where I needed a plug rather than a cap, they are handy to have.
