Our tool kit expert is on a holiday .. but the tools look to be all there.
Important is, what is on the tools? For instance the wrenches are supposed to bear Drop Forged Steel and the screwdrivers something like 10.000 Volt West Germany. The pliers probably Hapewe, the gen wrench P208.
In other words I would ask for detailed pictures and wait for Eric to kick in.

The wrenches are drop forged (not selected steel) and the straight bladed screwdriver is rated at 10000 volts. I am not sure about the pliers. The spanner wrench is indeed P208. Soterik is the tool guru. Hope he is back soon.

Very nice. What did it run you if I might ask. As a 914/6 tool kit, all same with addition of toe-eye its a fortune.

The fan belt may not be correct since it is in a Porsche cardboard that is a replacement sold later then 1970.
A correct fanbelt would have Porsche printed on it and is Not a Optibelt nor is it printed in green ink.
I do not have picture posting skills or tools at this time but the script is the same or very similiar to the earlier 356C/912/911 years. The brand on mine is Phoenix.
The rest looks okay from the one pic. I might like to see whats in the red plastic pouch besides the fuses. Also what color they are. That's getting anal.

I believe you are correct about the fan belt . The one pictured in the cardboard sleeve is for show and probably did not come with the kit. The other one pictured may be correct. The Porsche towel may not have come with the tool kit as well. The hepewe pliers are correct and the inside of the handles are stamped West Germany. I don't know what is in the fuse pouch. Thanks to everyone for their input. I think the kit is probably as fine and period correct that I could hope to find.

David,
I sent you a pm.
My opinion is the Hapewe pliers aren't completely correct, but I doubt that a concours judge would know the difference. Correct would be a raised cutting area pliers and the cutting area, and the head of the pliers, would be a "chromed" finish.
The towel wouldn't have come in the toolkit, it would have been part of a travel kit.
The red fuse pouch was only seen in the travel kit in my opinion. However, there were fuses in the toolkit, but they were only in the clear pudenz "box".
Concur on the fanbelt. 9.5 x 710 Porsche Phoenix, yellow script.

I just received the above toolkit. I have attached some closeup photos. Question for Soterik. Are these pliers correct for a 1970 built in December. These are not Hepawe, but have the raised cutting edge in chrome. I also have two belts. A green ink Porsche and a yellow ink Phoenix.
