Porsche 356 Tool Kits
Important disclaimer: I am not an expert on 356 tools! I have collected information from multiple sources, including my own observations, and try to present it on this site in a coherent manner. There will always be variations and differences from what is presented here. This site should be considered a work in progress, and not a definitive statement on what is correct for 356 tool kits. Use this site at your own risk, and please tell me if you find errors or can contribute to the site.
The most frequently asked question I get: "Where can I buy complete kits or tools for my 356?"
Most of the tools are long since NLA (no longer available). Reproductions of some items are available, and some vendors offer tools that resemble the original. Here are some of the sources that I am aware of. If you know of other sources, please let me know so I can add them to this list.
I can provide leather Messko pouches for metal Messko gauges. Click here for details.
