I thought there was mention of a couple of bikes being equipped with spare levers, fixer pegs, zip ties and puncture repair kits for GM2. One of these bikes would stay with the stricken rider whilst the rest of the ride went on undelayed. The assist rider would know the route plan and after the repair was effected, the two bikes could perhaps shortcut to the next stop point or something.
If that were a feasible idea for GM3, then rather than rely on donations of parts, perhaps a small registration fee of a couple of quid could cover the cost of two sets of Ebay levers, 2 fixer pegs, sundry zipties, couple of footpumps and two puncture repair kits.
