    Yes, I agree. The painted black handles of the pliers are reminiscent of Porsche 356A pliers. It does look like this RS kit was kinda thrown together. However, it does have the correct complement of tools and correct unique screwdriver and late and correct spark plug wrench. So it is strange and why I'd like to know where the photo came from. Thanks.

Gruber and Konradsheim and cleary shows the same DIN wrenches with the accepted reversible screwdriver and other tools of the RS kit. I believe I saw this same photo in the first RS book too? I don't know from where the authors took this photo. Does anyone know? Although very rare, it may well be that some late 1972 and 1973 kits came with DIN wrenches. Input? Examples?

    BTW I'm not suggesting this photo changes what we've come to accept as an authentic RS tool kit as shown several times in this thread. Rather, at least for the DIN wrenches they may have appeared in a few kits. As for the painted pliers, very hard to accept those in any early 911 kit ! Thanks.

    Green dot Jacks and more.

    Tool and Jack geeks,

    So, I don't know jack. Recently I purchased a jack as (mostly, yes I do that sometimes) a learning experience. Jacks may or may not?, be part of a toolkit but they certainly are an integral part of a 911s equipment. So, Let's start with the "Green Dot Jacks," and work our way down from here. I found this on a post here http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...ighlight=jacks BUT, let's not use links and get it ALL here. So, is there consensus, this is correct info? I have another question re. "the Green Dots" how about the ones with the SOLID (not heavy pressed or formed sheet metal) for the part that goes into the jack receiver, the solid ones, are they PORSCHE? After we figure all this out we can go to earlier jacks. Thanks !

    Circa 1976 911 Jack?

    Here is a nice jack I recently purchased on this list, thinking it an "RS" jack (yes circa 1973 911) but came to believe it is more properly around a 1976 "Turbo" (yes 1976 911), jack. Is this correct?

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Looks like a very nice, rarely used, 76 914 jack to me. NFW, is that a 911 jack

    Regards

    Steve et al,

    Re. the jack: the folded prong refers to the fold out "peg" which goes into the jack receiver. I believe all the photos show the heavy sheet metal which is folded to form the peg. There are versions of this jack with a solid, cast peg which is not correct for the subject Porsche.
    Admittedly, it is very difficult to accurately identify that those are DIN wrenches in "road test" photo. However, their ends look wider than the Drop Forged and SS and SSS wrenches which all have a similar profile but, again, hard to say that with great accuracy.
    It is surprising what some people are able to seen in photos, others have looked at many times. This is one of the reasons it is useful to get more photo input. Plus "a picture is worth a thousand words" and many would rather see a photo than read a thousand words !

    Thanks.

    My "likely original" spanners (wrenches) in RS are not DIN. They're SSS. Don't think DIN are correct for RS even though they're pictured artistically in the 73 TES owner driver books.
    Wouldn't know one way or another from press photo if DiN but posted this from roadtest to be s bit more clear on a known early RS. The authors words in conjunction with grainy shot helps with screwdriver etc listed that they actually found in that RS in 73. Better to have an indistinct period source pic and words from where and when these cars were sold new than just surmising and deductions some forty years on alone.

    Not clear on what is being said in Jack?
    Pretty sure I've read Jim have strong opinion that the green dot was solid cast "peg or prong" version in Porsche 911; stated the other folded sheet similar for is just for 914? Also hearing others of different opinion. Iirc Chuck posted his 73 green dot was folded pressed? May have misunderstood them? That's why I say not Jack discussion is not bottomed out.

    Steve,

    I was not actually referring to your posts which IMHO are not objectionably long; it mostly was just an observation on the value of photos.
    The green dot jacks came in MANY varieties over a number of years staring in 1973 I believe. Thank.s
