    Door pin tool P290 - question

    In doing some research on this tool, there was a Pelican posting listing P290 (as the main slide-hammer tool) along with two attachments: P290a and P290b. Does anyone know if either or both attachments are needed for removing a door on my 73 911? While my dealer says the P290 and 290a are available from Germany, 290b is NLA. Obviously pointless to purchase the main (290) tool if I can't get the attachment I need. Can any one help? Thank you!

    I bought a p290 and a p290a a couple months ago and I've pulled the doors from a 69, 70 and a 74 car. I didn't buy the 290b (not even sure what it is) so I'm sure you're ok.

    No reason to go all the way to Germany. I bought mine from:

    They were in stock and I had them in a couple of days.

    Door Pin Tool P290

    P290 is everything needed for models prior to 1974. Attachment P290a was for door stops with rollpins, from '74-on. Attachment P290b is also for later models.
