    Correct '68 DFS Wrenches

    Looking for advice as to whether or not these are THE CORRECT wrenches for a 1968 Tool Kit. Yes, I've read enough to make my head spin on Large vs Small Fonts and which is correct, or not. At this point I'm
    confused, not hard to do! So, any advice, confirmation or comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Others can confirm, but from what I know... a few of the wrenches don't have "milled" ends, which they should have for SWB. 12x13 for example.
    Looks like some are correct. 17x19 for example.

    IMHO, the incorrect cast wrenches were also sold by Porsche over the years as spare parts. I purchased some with old part number tags on them many years ago at the Lit meet. I personally don't consider them completely correct for an old "concours type" toolkit, but certainly "good enough" for a driver kit.

    Yes, the minutia on this board can be daunting....

    Eric's info may be correct. He certainly knows more about this stuff than I do. Still, keep in mind that nobody has ever been able to produce a 17/19 wrench with cast ends. Odd at least if Porsche was supplying these wrenches at some point.
