Hi CW's

I was going through my 914 tool kit spares looking for a handle I promised to Mr. Blackstain (other post).

I noticed the lower shank on the black handle is different, some round & some fluted?? Can anyone tell me what's correct or was it different supplier's???? Also, anyone know what the light grey one is for??

Need to know before I send to Johny Blackstain.

Tom

Tom- again, many many thanks. The black one all the way to the right, next to the white one, w/ the long "Made in W-Germany" down the middle of the handle is like my cracked one. Has metal inserts inside the handle. I've seen the white one before & think it was from an early 73, if it has no metal inside the handle. Attached is a photo of mine along w/ what I'm now calling "Hazet Madness". I've now found 3 Hazet 13/10s, one Hazet 13/8 & the "DIN 895 13/10" non-Hazet I thought was my original. Let's not forget the pliers that started it all. I have no idea where my Dad got all of these & I know as long as I've been around he never went to a swap meet .

Hi Johny Blackstain,

I'll send you the black handle (only) next to the white one tomorrow or when I return from vacation after the 4th. weekend.

BTW: Nothings for sale, I just give it away when I feel like it or look for trades if you got something I need. I am a little sicko collecting this stuff, but it's fun (see photo).

Gents... I'm looking at putting a tool kit together for my GT clone.

I have the bag and a few other goodies from an appropiate year 911. I need to gather some of the other goodies. Are they similar from 911 to 914 in 1970?

Johny and Tom,
Her is a picture of my tool kit, my car was built in 9-72 (early 73 model). It has a white handle for the screwdriver without a metal insert for the blade like Johny thought. It does not have a set of pliers and to the best of my knowledge never did. Can anyone confirm this for an early 73 car? Notice the oddly shaped hex wrench, has anyone seen this before or is it an add on from the PO?

E- I'm doing the same thing for my 70/6 & I believe the answer is yes. Attached is a photo of what I've been using as my guide.

I've never seen that hex wrench but my knowledge is limited. Check out P914s' website on tools & stuff:

The shorter of the 2 hex wrenches is fr the lugnuts. The longer is for the spark plugs (though I' never use it for that).

Al,

Nice toolkit! But, the Porsche shop towel wasn't part of it, from the factory. Yep, they've been available aftermarket since the late 70's, but were never part of the original. My wife used to have a miniskirt made from them - wouldn't work well today! Shhh, I didn't say that!

I think ScooterD meant that weird "P" looking thing next to the hubcap puller.

Here's a photo of Gary Stellmach's 914-6 tool kit. Hope it adds more detail.

Oops. Apparently I misconstrued my hexes! Truthfully, I have no knowledge of the "P' shaped united, if it's hex shaped (can't tell), but I'd kill to have that hubcap puller!
Pat

ps: What is that P=shaped thing?

OK... that's the bag I have so it's the same bag as the 911 of that era. Now all I need to do is fill it up

Eric, here is a 914-6 kit (which you may recognize) and a '66 911 kit.

This reply is worthless without a (vintage) pic!

Paul

Wish I knew that before I got one on eBay for $8 . How bout that vintage photo ?

Yup...

I think I have some pictures around here some where of the kit. I remember taking some for Tom and Gary a few years back... some kind of plier debate back then.

I'm going to get a picture of what I have and go from there.

OK guys... what am I missing?

Eric,

First thing, the black handles on the screw driver's should/must be RED.

T

Klein spark plug wrench & allen key, 5 open end wrenches, 1 double box end wrench. Is the 19mm lug wrench tapered @ the end? As Tom said, handles are supposed to be red.

About $500.00 worth of stuff!! And a pair of pliers in a pear tree.
Gary

Yeah I know... and the screwdrivers aren't real. Tincan sent me the absolute PERFECT RS tool kit so I'm trying to get something scraped together for the GT clone...

Got the screwdriver handle today Tom & had to say thanks again! Perfect match to my cracked, glued & taped one. I will never use it again ! Just have to find an old inner tube to cut into black rubber bands now & the kit is complete. I owe you one!
