New Porsche Tool Reference Site

[twinturbo959]

Hello Everyone, I would like to introduce you to a website I created for this Porsche Hobby of ours:

https://www.originalporschetools.com/

Landing Page:


I have been working on this for well over one year, and it is slated to go live on February 2, 2021.

The purpose of this site is to memorialize information for future enthusiasts to use as a guide for their own hobby. Many people helped me with this website, both directly and indirectly. I had a lot of help from members from the Porsche356Registry, Early911SRegistry, and others who have helped me expand my knowledge.



Table of contents page found for each model and sub-model when applicable:



Collection of Kits:



Details of tools according to model (you are able to toggle between pages to see what came "previous year" or "next year" from the page you are looking at)



959 Tool Kits:



Other Items like Key Fobs:



Floor Jacks:



Owners Manual:



All are invited to subscribe to the website to get updates. This is not "my" website, this is a website I hope that we, as a community, build together. If you find errors, by all means, let me know. All constructive criticism is welcomed and appreciated.

Please let me know if there are any "dead links", Currently, the links to hazet.de archives are not working. Where possible, I posted references in pdf format, or links, and/or quotes from different resources. Again, I am not an authority, I am just one of those few Porschephiles who has had the privilege to own many different model Porsches and wanted to unify all this knowledge into one space.

Please Note any link that says "DEMO" is a link that has not yet been reviewed by an authority... here you will be able to see the process, I start by entering items by my own observation and research, and then I have multiple people review. This makes the process more thorough.

Please keep this fun for everyone.

Sincerely,

Benjamin Abraham

I applaud your efforts here. Lots of work.The link in your original post does not appear to work. I've included one below.

Also I'm not expert, but didn't All 73 tool kits (or more than RS) get the reversible red handle driver?

Thank you for the fix to the link.

Regarding the "RS" only... you are correct, the website says "911, RS"... so, this is both the RS models and 911 models from 1872.5-1973. I will make this clearer. Initially, I used "key" models as a roadmap and then filled in the blanks between

OK, kind of funny. I've been working for the last year on a similar site for www.porschetoolkits.com. Looks like we'll have a couple reference sites.

I do have a question. Can you tell me how you acquired the photos for your website? I only ask as many of them appear to be mine and I have no recollection of your asking permission to use them.

Pretty relevant question I think

Benjamin,

It would be more appropriate to refer to these as "Tools supplied with a Porsche" or "Porsche Tool Kit Contents".
Most of these were not specifically Porsche tools, and there were hundreds of actual, specific Porsche tools which will apparently not be covered on this site.

Interesting collection of photographs. Are you planning on covering the 912 tools as they were different from the 911 tools of the same era?

I extend my gartitude for all your hard work. Love the easy navigation and graphic design thus far. I am also more than happy to help and supply you clear photos of my correct 1968 SWB toolkit if you encounter issues to use LiveFromNY's images. Cheers and thanks again.
