Tool Kit Question

[911T1971]

you'll find some additional infos by using the search button on this forum, including photos.. member eric wrote me recently:

"The early textures are so subtle...that it's difficult to describe:

First thing is all bags are black....NO other colors, period.

64 to 66, 2 different textures, both "fabric like" in appearance. One has more horizontal dobby like texture to it. Inside is putty color.

67, very fine cloth like texture, very similar to a fine gauge pinpoint shirt fabric, inside is either putty or red.

68, smooth imitation leather, putty colored interior.

69, smooth imitation leather, most that I have seen have a tan interior, others are putty.

70, 2 different textures, one smooth leather with putty interior, this is also the year that the basketweave vinyl starts, same putty interior.

71 and 72, basketweave vinyl with putty interior.

73 early, same as 71 and 72.

73 mid and later, 2 different bag styles, both in basketweave, one has a string tie, the other has 2 snaps.

regards,
Eric

Thansk Eric (man... we've got a lot of Eric's here)

He's a goofy question: Is there any specific order in which the tools go or do they just fit in where ever they fit in? I want to make sure it wraps up properly without the pully wrench flying across the front trunk.

1968:, maybe that helps:

1969.

1972

OK, I'm the Eric who did the description on the toolkit bags.

I need to add one addition here, there appears to be a bag that shows up in the late 68 and early 69 cars, but very rarely. It's a very heavily textured buffalo type of vinyl.

Great thread... I just looked at my 71 bag last night. Beside the bag and a lug wrench it seems to be mainly... incomplete. LOL

Seriously... it's missing a lot. What's a good 70/71 kit go for?

P.S. I'm going to start a thread titled "Hey Eric!". When I get a reply I'll just keep typing "no, the other Eric." We'll see how long we can keep it going!

I have a '71 also, but with a mostly complete tool kit. I am missing just a couple of items - one open end wrench, the box end wrench and the pliers. Any ideas of where I can obtain them? Thanks.
