    73 tool kit; what am i missing?

    Here's my tool kit from a May manufacturing date. I believe the snap buttons (as opposed to clasps or drawstrings) are correct based on a previous check on this site a few years ago- the responses were about 75% had the button snaps, and a few had drawstrings. Now I'm trying to get all the right contents. I believe I am only missing the 19x22 box end wrench. Is that right? And what is the correct marking, Chrome Vanadium?

    FYI, the screwdriver is the reversible type, and the SSS open-end wrenches go from 8/9 to 17/19.

    Thanks for the help, Jeff

    Hi Jeff,

    I think you miss the yellow handle for the two way screwdriver. Plus the 19/22 mm indeed but they are easy to find. Handle is another story...

    Take care,

    Cees

    Thanks Cees. The handle is down in the pocket in the photo, but I'm pretty sure it's red. I'll snap a picture of just that tonight.

    Correct to Feb 1973 I believe (other than v belt), but I defer to the experts.
    Clasps, basketweave, 2 screwdrivers.

    Thanks for the links; very helpful. My kit is the same as the one below (claimed mid 73) that I copied from the tool police thread, although in the thread it's suggested that the bag is wrong. I'm pretty convinced, based on confirmation from other owners of cars bracketing my date of manufacture, that the bag is correct. As far as the tools go that's exactly what I have, save the missing box-end wrench. Even my screwdriver handle is the same.

    Cees, not sure about the yellow handle. Mine is definitely the same as this one.

    And in retrospect, I should have taken my tool kit photo with all the tools exposed like this. Much easier to tell what's there...

    And BEH911, thanks for the search help. I keep forgetting that option to limit the Google search!

    Looks alot like my 72 kit, but I'm no expert on what was there originally.
