Reference: Tool Rolls & Contents

[Allen Henderson]

Interesting. As a point of reference, I have both original tool kits for my one-owner 1969 911S and my one-owner 1971 911E and both have the large font DFS wrenches with the machined ends. In addition, when I brought my 72T back from Italy and began prepping it for paint, I found an old, dirty paper bag tucked up in front of the spare tire. When I opened it, I found some old bulbs, a receipt from an auto parts store in Milan dated 1974, a 10,000v screwdriver, and three correct DFS wrenches all large font with machined ends. My guess is that these types of wrenches may have continued well into the LWB cars.

Good info and I'll not argue with that ! I guess we can say the Large Font DFS with machined ends are the "gold standard" and are a safe bet that would be hard to debate with up to and including 1971 LWB cars. Not, though to exclude the other two types which may have started to appear in ktis around the same time. Produciton volumes were up and more toolkits were needed. By 1973 we say, for sure Selected Steel and I'm pretty sure Special Selected Steel too. Thanks !
