Thank you

Are you talking about 914-6 or 914-4?
Big difference when talking about tools.
There's a good website for 914-6....someone here will know it.

Yep.......1974 four banger. I have reference material but the tool brands are not evident, hence my request.
Thanks

Fellers........thank you so much for the intel and that website.
Appears the screw driver is non descript (nameless).

So non descript that when I found one rattling around in the trunk of one of the cars I owned decades ago, I threw it away thinking it was just some cheap Wal-mart crap tool.

Cal44 & 914er's
I found some misc tool kit parts (screwdrivers-wrenches-spark plug tools) & will post sometime next week after I take photo's.
BTW: This stuff is getting expensive and rare to find. I know complete 914-6 tool kits are in the $2k+ to $3k+ area and complete 914-4's are in the $500++ area if you can find them.
It only gets more expensive over time for these factory tool kits that got thrown away by everyone.

The VW sourced /4 "tool kit" is basic crap. The only part worth anything is the tow eye.

What is the function of the U-shaped bent wire tool with hooked ends located next to the tow-eye in the above photo?

Early hub cap puller. There are two holes in the edge of the hub cap to use with that tool. The puller look longer than most I have seen.

My 75 didn't have any tools with it but my leftover tools from my 68 camper sure look a lot like the 914 tools. I have go dig them out.

These tools were also in the VW tool kits and there are plenty available check EBay and the Samba. If described as a Porsche tool $$$ as a VW tool each tool is under $20ea.
