Narrative:
Flap-south did not operate properly, entered maintenance write-up. Deferral instructions specified that flap circuit breaker be pulled and banded. There were no circuit breaker collars or ny-locks available, so I used a piece of tape around circuit breaker. Had maintenance put proper collar on circuit breaker at next stop (pit). The aircraft need to be stocked with equipment required for crew deferral actions.
