Sorry I can't help you.

But what would be interesting is a poll of just how many actually have a spare, jack and tool kit, much less an inflator.

I've never had all four in one car.

Good luck.

Was the spare, jack, tool kit and inflator kit all standard equipment on 944s?

As far as I know, the spare and jack located in my car are original and unused. I also found the inflator down in the passenger side rear wheel well, but I don't recall ever seeing a tool kit.

Same here. Tire goes in the middle well with the screw thingy keeping it from bouncing around. Jack has to be opened up and slid backwards onto the "L"-shaped bracket between the taillights, then tightened down to hold it in place. The Jack handle goes over two notches in the same bracket. Tool kit & compressor go in the side pockets AFAIK, or in the spare tire well if you prefer I guess.

Make sure your inflatble tire actually works. The valve is fairly vulnerable and tend to leak. I learnt a hard lesson when I had a flat on the freeway, and the inflatable spare did not work. The tire shop says valve is a unique design and hard to replace.

It took two cars before I got all 4. Anyone have a pic or invantory of the tool kit? I would like to know if mine is complete.

Why not buy an aftermarket compressor and add a Porsche decal.

I've got all four. New spare, mint compressor, decent tool-kit and chinsy aluminum jack.

The jack sucks. The handle bent up the first time I tried to use it. Luckily I kept the nice solid jack from the 924S...it's much better. Doesn't fit the jacking hole on the '44 properly, but it still grabs well enough to do a tire change.

I've got all four, but I doubt I ever use them. That's what AAA is for!
