just sharing : restoring my toolbag.

[Xavier PJB]

I received the toolbag from a fellow member. I decided to make it better (dust, dirt, rust). I like very much doing this. Just sharing for fun.
part 1 : I finished to separate the various parts, and have cleaned them sith glycerin soap. Bought the various new parts (clips) and new items for sewing.
I choose to keep the original material.

Interesting. Haven't seen a thread on this. Curious to see what you do with the clasps.

Well, have done most of it, I broke one of the 2 clasps, so I need to order a new one.
IT was not so easy to sew the old vinyl, as it was very dry, hard and not aligned cause by the usage.
I took the opportunity to make a complete template of it.
I beleive it would have been easier to make one from new materials

BTW, I am now able to make repro of original ones, or bespoke (color of the car, sewing in different color, leather..) - price on asking.

MP if interested. I will make a donation of 10% of each sold toolbag to the regsitry to sustain it.

Would it be possible to buy some clasps only?

Would it be possible to buy some clasps only?

Sure. It is not very expensive, about 5 euros each in here, as I bought it from a small shop. I beleive it can be easily find on the net.

Can you post the pictures of the new clasps when they come in? I've been trying to locate a source for the same spring claps as Porsche's but I failed. None of the ones I see on the web looks like the ones used by Porsche on its toolkit. Thanks in advance.
