I may have a line on an OE henweigh (it's a crescent henweigh, BTW), but the seller wants $43.29. Is that too much?

The price is dependent on how much the henweighs...............
Well someone had to do it or Ernest would pop.........
MBMB, the OE pliers for your car have a red coating on the handle and as someone has pointed out the screwdriver has a yellow handle. It looks like you have the screw driver blade though, and ar only missing the handle that it inserts into.

Nicole, I beg to differ :-) My two very original '87 S4's came with red-handled pliers. They fit like a glove.
And for anyone who cares about flip-up or non-flip-up, I owned 1385 and 1401. 1385 had a flipper, 1401 had none. Beat that for unusual, coincidental Porsche 928 trivia :-)

nasty hen
That nasty hen ran off with our pliers Nicole. And now I must worry about it . All along I thought I had a complete tool kit ..........I'm going to a psychiatrist because of this.
p.s.: Wait.....no need to be upset......heinrich claims my pliers are original...both of them have red handles with a tight fit. I am in ecstasy. I no longer must hold my head in shame for I too have an original tool kit. Oh happy day.

If you look at the spare towards the front of the car, there is a specially-created spot for the wrench in the plastic spare container ..... that is where all mine have been. And no, I don't know for sure if the factory shipped them there.

Was'nt there a safety triangle and gloves that tucked in with the tool kit.
I know I don't have them in my car but I saw someone selling some on Ebay.
Anyone know if they were originally there or did the "HEN" eat them.

Perhaps a better question is has anyone ever USED the tools to actually fix a 928 out on the road ??

Jim:
Yes, on the way to your shop one day on Hwy. 10 somewhere in Arizona my throttle rod broke loose from the valve under the plenum. I spent some time in triple digit heat on the side of the road repairing it the hard way: I removed the intake runners. I had a nice chat with a gentleman representing the law enforcement profession who stopped to ask if I was allright. I finally figured out that I could have simply removed the air filter housing and reached in under the plenum. I wired the linkage to the bellcrank and set out again toward your shop.... but it took me another day to get there. Then I got an replacement throttle linkage rod from you.
