    Drop Forged Large and Small Font and Pliers

    Here are some photos that show: large and small font Drop Forged Wrenches. We can see from previoulsy posted "specimen" tool kits that the Large Font were de rigour for Long Wheel Base, post 1968 kits. Exactly when and how the small script Drop Forged came into use, I don't know. Opinions? We know the large font was present, of course, also for the 356 C kits BUT the 356C/SC (T-6) kits did not have 13mm wrenches only four not five wrenche like 911 (SWB and LWB) kits. Now the pliers have a satin finish for the SWB Porsche. Sometime, though, the pliers changed to a shinny chrome finish, also shown, exactly when? Opinions? These pliers are unmarked but some 356 pliers, at least, were marked Klein. As for the Hepewe pliers, IMHO we did not see them until at least 1972 if not later. Again, opinions? Thanks!

    Tools that have been reproduced to my knowledge: Pliers, Messko plastic pouch, Klein screw drivers (limited number I believe). I've heard that the SWB rare Spark Plug Wrench is in the process of being reproduced. Perhaps a list member knows more. The P208 I'm pretty sure has not be reproduced. Thanks.

    Too many Porsches and one VW are starting to fill up my desert landscape.

    this one ?

    http://www.sierramadrecollection.com...-76-p7662.html

    the description is a little misleading / confusing, but would '75-'76 be the long pin version ?

    pix of mine attached. were these available through Stoddard 20-30 years ago ? my unmarked wrench is not anything that was produced recently.

    Although it will work the long pin version is definitely wrong for long hood Porsches. Thanks.

    Allen,

    Can you please show a comparison between long and short pin versions? And maybe a dimension of how far each stands up from the face of the tool.

    I have a later '73 (April build) and I'm sure I have the original tools, and mine looks very much like the 208 pictured.

    Chuck, I'd like to oblige you but I'm in Sweden right now where my daughter was just awarded her PhD. In any case, I don't have a long pin version but I'm sure someone on the board can provide same. Your P208 looks correct as the long pin version, though, has significantly longer pins so a profile shot will make the difference obvious. Thanks.
