Hi Allen,
The picture did not come up clear. The two bags above the red interior one are riveted. The one in the middle of the picture is another riveted one also. Thanks.

I don't see tabs. The 901 had tabs. Thanks.

I have this 17/19 spanner (wrench) marked PORSCHE.

I often see orphan drop forged, special selected steel spanners etc asking quite high money and those West German made were not always unique to Porsche — they are generic. Presumably Porsche bought those fairly unremarkable generics in certain sizes to make up toolkits that are discussed so throughly in this thread. Quite often those generic ones can be found around Europe, not just metric sizes but in imperial sizes. I found a set of imperial sss from my father among many tools not part of anything he valued as were thrown in a mixed lot unlike others from Hazet etc he had carefully cared for in sets. So clearly generic no great shakes quality just interesting these days because Porsche happened to use them in kits I suppose.

For some reason Porsche around 1962 went to the trouble to have some spanners ( wrenches) made with PORSCHE on them, like this

Rather than settling for what presumably would’ve been easier sourcing generic DFS SSS and so forth or Hazet as had been used before. Doesn’t seem to be anything special about it other than the PORSCHE brand marking. So not clear why they bothered having company name put on some batches? Quite neat to have the marking these days I suppose.

From the nicely organised 356 tool site this type seems to be for a 356 around 1962.

I’m not often a seller of my old things so will probably keep it. I have friends with 356 so possibly there is a more suitable home if it is a rarity that helps complete someone’s special toolkit set. It has no real significance to me because have the correct ones in original toolkit for my car and I don’t plan to get 356.

Posting a question on this 911 thread because I’m wondering if these particularly in the 17/19 size had ever been part of 901/911 after the use in T6 B 356? Or other models of sixties? At this stage I’m not offering for sale just seeking to learn more — maybe folks here knows more about the PORSCHE marked ones? Are they common or quite rare?

The quite rare PORSCHE marked 17/19 has different overall dimensions c.f. the SSS that is also 17/19. Happened to have these examples laid side by side and noticed so took this photo.

I put a measure against this spanner as the PORSCHE branded originals like this 17/19mm survivor were only used for a short period. Don’t see them often so thought comparison might be of interest to some folks. Quantifies the visually obvious difference in size:

Photo of toolkit as were around end calendar 1971 — date estimate is based on tne original Phoenix belt having date that decodes to October 1971. Think this was the toolkit configuration typically used until the end of calendar 72 when it superseded by the one in my early 73 car with reversible driver and tie bag.



Being surplus to my needs I took it to a Porsche swap meet yesterday so took these snaps when to hand for this reference thread.

Clasp bag for those interested in the discussin in variation of that dimension is 40cm the 19mm tapered end lug wrench measures about 36cm to bend so it does fit inside

Afiak this kit is as it came out of the car; it is not a put together kit or cleaned up so posting as an as-found reference. The fuse pack is missing unless lurking in depths of a pocket. Not sure a towel was part of kit or not.

Probably nothing much new to learn from photo except that by that date derived from the belt the plug tool was evidently taper not square (not sure if this thread has determined when the taper superseded the square already?)

Didn’t sell at the friendly air-cooled Porsche annual swap-meet event that Angus and his Greatworth team do so well with DDK for charity . Done with great spirit and the comradeship tradition of the old school Porsche British swap-meets that some of us remember fondly despite the monsoon weather that visits each year just for the meet.

So going into storage along with the jack — which i was told yesterday are quite hard to find by someone who had restored then sold one recently.

Looks right !

This is the first time I am seeing a 1973.5 tool bag with light color interior. JUSIN lettering is somewhat visible. Has anyone seen one before? I have owned 15+ dark color interior 1973.5 tool bags before, never this color.

Thank you for the feedback in advance.
