My tool kit is complete other than one of the screwdrivers I've checked out the big book but can't determine which one is missing... The one in my kit is a flat head I assume the other would be a Phillips? Can anyone shed some light? Thanks Chas
You might try and contact 'TonyL' in the UK. Some time ago, he made some lovely repops. Regards, Alberto
I think Tom Shaughnessy also made some nice reproductions, although that might have been pliers. Give him a shout. D
Yours are real. That's all you really need to know. How do I know yours are real? Because they were in the trunk of a pretty neglected car when I bought her, and at that point, the market had not realized any value in tools/books jack/ etc., so no one was yanking them out and selling them separately. And, no repops were available when I bought the car. Oh, and no, the books and pouch are not ALL original to the car. I had to pick a couple of them up from a good friend who went out of his way to make sure they were from a car that was produced the same month at the factory. the warranty card, and, as I recall, the operators manual are original. The rest are age correct. D
Patina is pretty easy to fake. Send me a couple new repro screwdrivers, I'll make 'em look like they belong for free. D
