I'm glad to see that someone offers 914 tool kits. In this case, AA offers them. They have one for 70-72:
http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-7-piece...B411012021.html And 73-76: http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-Tool-Ki...411012021B.html Mine is an early 73 (662). A different source shows the following for early 73: http://www.p914.com/p914_tools_kit-73_early.htm The latter includes a towing eye, hubcap removal tool, and spark plug tool. AA's kit doesn't have this, though the towing eye is sold separately. Although this site says that not all early cars had the white screwdriver handle, the shape in the pic appears like the AA 70-72 kit. So I'm left wondering, which is accurate? My car only has the tommy bar and lug wrench. |

Thanks for all of the replies. Does anyone know if the towing eye is common to other VW's as well, or is it a 914 specific part?

Thanks for all of the replies. Does anyone know if the towing eye is common to other VW's as well, or is it a 914 specific part? I know for sure aircooled VW's don't have the them. Some have a loop for the front welded or bolted to the front beam. Porsche 996/997 does have them, but they're a much more useful/substantial part that you can put a sideload on. The 914 hook will bend if you even look at it sideways. |
