Volkswagen factory supplied tool kits

IMHO, this tool kit is far more rare than my 66/67 Hazet kit. It’s obviously not as desirable as the spare tire kit but I’ve never seen another. Next question is… which car gets what kit?

not a tool but something cool to keep under the hood with the tool kit

[EverettB]

Cool, that's a nice one!

I have a few of them and I think that's a somewhat early version of the can too.

so i go n look just what is "Konservierungs - mittel"

its not wax or polish , its a preservative in German

The box shown is actually one of the early versions. This is what the cans looked like in the 50's. The picture is from a 1956 BERATER magazine. Later they had the same pattern as the spare parts boxes, and plastic sealing lids. By the way, the Konervierungsmittel was a wax emulsion, so it was a kind of liquid wax.

Can someone tell me the dimensions of the tool roll pliers (lenght, width).
I have two different sizes (one lenght 16 cm, another 18 cm). Which one is correct?

ya i THINK those pliers are 165 mm long ...........

now i just found this wrench advertised in the samba classifieds today n bought it

i think its a pretty hard roll up tool kit wrench to find ? first one i have ever seen available .

its a Hazet 10 by 14 mm . the owners manuals shows it for both 1951 Bug and Bus but by 1952 it was 8 by 12 mm

Maybe this split beetle (period?) pic gives a clue

so i went n found my jack bag . i believe its for a split bug ? i didnt know about keeping a fan belt in there , so today i put my spare split belt in there . bag measured 19 by 9 inches . i dont have a split bug jack yet , not easy to find and usually out of my reach when i find one i have a similar green canvas split bug 5 pocket tool roll coming in the mail that i think matches this fabric . ill post it when it gets here . i also have a bug hand crank starting lever . the trunk is almost full with all this stuff already LOL

wile i dont have a split jack this early next generation jack kinda fits in the bag too .

id kinda like something to keep the hand crank in now , stitch up a bag somehow ?

[s.e.charles]

if one were to hazard a guess . . . . . wonder if the pipe upright on the jack would be, uh, say, maybe about 1 1/4 " in diameter outside?

then, knowing 3 dimensions, someone could construct a very plausible scale model.

whattaya think?

[EverettB]

Someone asked in another thread when the 8/13mm small wrench was first used.
I'm posting what I found here for reference.

[my3bugs]

here are two more kits i have been working on . both 5 pockets one side 1 on the other . not all the same tools they came with as some rusty beyond a clean up . but swapped with similar ones . the bars are repo but everything else original .

the fabric in the first one looks to be a perfect match with one a couple posts earlier from member Rockstock .
sparkplug socket is clip is RIVETED in here .

this one has snap in CLIPS in the sparkplug socket . green canvas .

[s.e.charles]

wicked good layout pictures; thanks

[my3bugs]

from what i understand these early roll up kits didnt come with hubcap pullers , but there essential to change a tire so i try to add one to my kits .

[my3bugs]

i have a 51 bug so im trying to make a tool kit correct for a 51 bug . i cant read German to understand some of this list . any help would be appreciated .

this is from the 51 owners manual in the samba technical section . there is no English version there .
