@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=643 (thanks! ) let me borrow one of these for my front shock project. He said to post here to see if anyone knows where to get them. He told me @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=419 made the top one, and he thought dLee (spelling?) made the other two.

The top one is used for releasing the front hood springs, I'm not sure what the middle one is for (nut on front shocks?), and the bottom one is for is for the top front shock bolt nut.

Thanks!

Not sure about where to get the hood spring tool, but the one in the middle looks like the wrench I used on my turbo tie rods. Here's a link...

The bottom looks like a shock gland nut tool. Here's a link for the Bilstein one...

But I'm thinking I may send my tools to Jim for his autograph. Looks like a brand name

Top one is actually for the trunk torsion bars. It is indeed a McMark product. You can even see Original Customs engraved on it. I have one and it works great.

I think you can get the top one at auto Atlanta. I read somewhere that George bought some of these to sell.

The bottom two tools were made by a World member several years ago. There was an offering here......forgot the details
