Looking for a few final bits to make my car 100% original. Can anyone point me to a source for an original '75 tool kit and shifter knob? Thanks.

Thanks. the "real" original shifter knobs cost a small fortune. you can get them from porsche. i think they are period correct though the originals were made of bakerlite. not sure about the current spare part from porsche. some other plastic? but correct shape etc. otherwise go shopping on internet for a good used one. you will be in competition with early 911 guys. tool kit was nothing special by 75. same as 74. cheap and cheerful black plastic bag with an elastic band around it. its a beetle tool kit. i think i saw that AA sell a repro toolkit with all correct repro pieces. you might also be able to source a repro version of the whole thing from various VW internet parts houses too, but i have never looked? because all you are after is a 74 on beetle kit. or otherwise search to see if someone will sell you a good condition original. EDIT auto atlanta http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-Tool-Ki...411012021B.html dunno if strictly correct as mine has a screwdriver with a white handle not black. and i know mine is original and came with car all those years ago. but maybe there were kits with black handle version. some-one here would know. |

Yes, the shift knob is available new from Porsche. It is about $160 if I recall once they apply all of the usual discounts. Your car definitely warrants a new one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

we have them both, actually had to have the original late 73-76 tool bags made as Porsche vw discontinued them, of course they were nothing special, just a heavy black plastic bag with a black rubber band

Take a look at my tool stash & let me know if your interested in any thing you see. Mostly original tools & stuff like 914, 911, 944 & beyond. Tool kits are getting difficult to source and $pricey (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Best option is to source piece by piece with vendors mentioned here on 914-World My stuff starts about $20, mostly $50 and maybe $100 for good tools.

The new knobs are not even close to the OEM. The good news is most of the cracks can be polished out. Should be able to pick up a one to restore for less than $50.
