    I was at a Ferrari meet recently. A fellow 328 owner commented on how original my 328 (78013) looked. He suggested that I have it judged for originality next time. I thought I had all the original tools but now realize that my jack is not original and that I am missing the tire pressure gauge (and the item that fits in the grey center grip tongs of the yellow spare bulb/fuse box). Does anyone know the exact ones I need and where to buy them?

    Thank you.

    Echoing Brian ("Rifledriver"):
    - cars never came with a pressure gauge.
    - the item that fits in the grey center grip tongs of the spare bulb/fuse box is a spare spark plug on US cars. (on "Euro" cars, it is an headlight bulb)

    I checked a lot of those cars into the dealership brand new and I never saw a spare spark plug in the box for the bulbs and fuses. The spark plugs were still in the Champion package and usually in the jack kit just as it is shown in the parts book.
    The EU cars had a head light bulb in that spot and was unused in the US cars. How owners chose to rearrange things later is a different story.

    Thanks Brian; so empty it should be for US cars.

    And that should be spark "plugs". They came with 2 and obviously 2 will not fit in that space in the bulb holder.

    True, two spare spark plugs it was for "euro" cars also, in their carboard boxes, in the two dedicated pockets inside the jack bag.

    Thank you all. Nerofer's excellent lists and photos were particularly helpful. Merci beaucoup. I got an estimate from Lyle Tanner parts in TX for $500 for the jack, two ratchets, and lug wrench. It seems high but I know Ferrari tools are escalating in value fast. Has anyone bought parts from him before?
