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. |

I just completed mine and just matched it up to the stuff my owners manual shows in in the kit. 73 was a transition year for the kits so your manual may be one of 2 prints. Mine had the longer list of items. If using EBay search VW parts. Wild swings in price for the exact same items. 356 plug wrench 100 bucks, same wrench in VW 25bucks.

Here's an interesting twist on the manual list. I have the receipt from the PO I bought my '73 from for a replacement "73 edition" owner's manual purchased in 1976. Indeed, my manual has an inventory sticker on it and it also has the long list for the tool kit. So even manuals being sold several years after the fact might list the early kit parts regardless of what came with the car. |
