Jim-
Yep. Mine has gloves & a ground "cloth" (plastic) still in a bag, think it has a tube of olainium as well (to lubricate henweighs, I believe).

The muffler bearing is made of "unobtainium".

Yep - my previous '91 GT was a German delivery and had the triangle also. I think I kept it somewhere in the garage...

Warning triangle and first aid kit are mandatory in Germany - your car won't pass safety inspection and you can be ticketed, if you drive without it.

Since my car is a pretty basic 928, except for the partial leather interior, it was delivered without the henweigh. Not having to carry this heavy sucker makes my automatic almost as fast as a GT...

Actually, no.... it's "raritanium". Unobtanium, as its name suggests, cannot be had for any money. Raritanium is just rare, not unobtainable. I was working in a parts store way in the dim past and a lady laid an old exhaust gasked, one of those fiber donut things, on the counter and told me she wanted "a muffler bearing just like that".



The other two guys snickered off into the back, and I was stuck. Funny thing was, she insisted that her husband told her it was a muffler bearing, and what did a dumb kid like me know anyway... So I diplomatically told her that while we didn't have any muffler bearings, we did have a manifold gasket that was close and just might work.

MBMB-based on the empty slots from your picture, the three missing open wrenches are 14/15, 10/11, and 8/9mm.

When all the slots are full, they look like this - plus red/yellow/whatever handles ...

The shallow depressions in top center left are where the henweighs had resided, occasionally leaving hen fruit behind - to be collected and enjoyed with bacon for breakfast: only winged studs now remain in these depressions - probably as an aphrodisiac artifact surrogate for the roosters who never came.
'80 top, '88 bottom - all opened for ground strap access during winter hibernation.

Rust! "Rust" you say - that's merely a reflection of an ultra rare brown interior in the hand buffed, mirror finish that's maintained on a set of Porsche's best tools...... that are rarely used because they are crappy - ah, it could be 'brown pixels' in my camera - damn, now I've got to bust thru the snow again to check on something in the garage....rust?
