Yes because it shows you a pic of the correct jack for your bus. Doghouse, small indent, no triangle etc.

I went to the swap at the Bugarama yesterday and found some jacks. Armed with this threads info I picked up a 64 jack for 3 bucks! Cool

That's a score for any type of jack!

Ok, i already purchased the jack; however, in most pics i've seen on this post (and on the classifieds) i noticed that most jacks are displayed WITHOUT the arm that attatches to the jack in order to turn the inner bolt and raise the vehicle... i'm assuming i'm gonna have to find one... any tips? Already checked the classifieds and i don't see any.

Question

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

I see the hubcap tool, lug nut socket and breaker bar. Is the small socket for spark plugs? What was the side cutting pliers supposed to do? And is there any special uses for the other tools?

Good questions, I am sure of the intended use for all of the tools.

For my '63, here's the list:

The larger socket is for the spark plugs and jack and lug bolts as mentioned

The smaller socket is for ? I can't think of anything specific I would use that for myself on the side of the road. Battery connections maybe?
It says 14mm but I wonder if it's 13mm since most everything is 13mm instead of 14mm in 1963.

The screwdrivers - Carb tuning for sure plus anything else you needed.

The pliers... just anything in general as a sort of universal tool?

Maybe cutting pliers are for the wires and grub screws on things like the shift rod. I would like to see a factory pic of the pliers in use, the Germans must have had a very good reason for putting them in the kit. Cool

Guys,

Where is the proper storage location for the jack on a 67 walkthrough? It doesn't fit underneath the driver's seat. Thanks.
