Reference: Tool Rolls & Contents

Reminder that there are no absolutes regarding exactly what tool was correct, as Porsche was a manufacturing company and whatever was on hand was used. Sometimes old stock would be found or mixed in and it would be used up.

There are different gray bags, notably the 1976 is different than the 1977. The 1976 has the dark gray interior, while 1977 has lighter interior that is courser. The 1976 bags still came with the solid spark plug wrench...I've inspected many cars produced in May and June and they all still have the solid style. By the time my 1977 930 #0417 was produced in February 1977, the spark plug tool now came with the spring. This was a one-owner prior to me and it had a nearly NOS tool kit included still in the original plastic Porsche bag.

With the exception of the 73.5 (late LWB kits) Hepewe pliers are, IMHO, not the recognized pliers for SWB or LWB kits. See post #31 for good photos of raised curring edge pliers, satin finish for SWB (same pliers as for 356 C/SC) and chromed raised cutting edge for LWB cars. I've seen a LOT of "LWB Kits" for sale with Hepewe pliers, which again IMHO, are not the accepted pliers for these kits. Hepewe also are not very high quality pliers IMHO. Thanks.

Note: correction/edit. Yes, the left-most pliers look to be SWB/356-like pliers or the real deal. The finish is not in the best of condition and so, to me, it is hard to tell.

Allen,

I meant .. the one on the left is a swb lwb ? plier
i don't believe that the hawepe pliers are fitted with the swb / lwb toolkit .. i will agree on that !
but i was surprised that they made some many different styl/details ..
so i would love to know which year which pliers is produced

the one on the left has no marks what so ever..

I received some information from an owner of a nice early SWB. His car, with apparently its original bag (though missing lots of tools) is two-tone and tabbed. His chassis number is in the range of 3016XX. So, looks like the tabbed bags were continued longer than we thought (earlier post we guessed 3011xx ending) So, now we think there may have been about 1,600 or these bags produced. Oh good! they are getting easier to find Thanks.

Update: I am NOT confident, on reflection, that tabbed bags went on this long; it is possible of course that the bag mentioned here is not original to 3016XX. Others, please chime in! The bag shown below is an example of the tabbed bag. Thanks.

I went through all 10 pages of this thread first to help identify the tool bag that I have and nothing, so any help would be appreciated.

Pretty sure this is a 356 C/SC, 1964 and 1965 bag: single color and with snaps with tabs. Similar to "901 bag", i.e. first 911 bag which is two tone and a heavier vinyl. Thanks.

Thank you Allen, I did notice that the early 901 Tool bag was two tone. Again thank you for the help.

There is some confusion about the linen and ribbed swb tool bags. The second photo was posted on Pelican described as linen type for 1967 but I see the horizontally ribbed version. The first photo is a linen type, third is a vertically oriented ribbed version. I see the ribbed type as for 1967, the linen type for 66 and smooth for 1965

[66S]

If the second photo is described as linen for 1967 then The textures need better ID. My experience is different such as the 67S kit I bought from its original owner that is in a ribbed bag or the all black linen bag I got from the original owner of an original paint 66. My friend Joe says his 67N had a horizontally ribbed bag that was original to the car. John Audette's thread asking what the proper 67 bag is had no real answer.
