1 pair of pliers, two open end wrenches, a henweigh and one screwdriver.

Thanks, Ernest.

Is that an open-ended henweigh or a crescent henweigh?

Pliers go in the plier-shaped opening at top left?

Are you sure I'm not missing three open end wrenches?

What goes in the hooked opening at bottom right? The henweigh?

You're right, it's three open ends. The device that looks like a crank goes in the hooked opening bottom right and will fit poorly and sort of stick out.
The henweigh goes in the depression on the top left and is compressed when the kit is mounted.

Good call on the henweigh. Also, the compressor setup is missing a muffler bearing...

What are the sizes on the open end wrenches I'm missing?

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?

Sounds reasonable. You'll be lucky to do so well on the muffler bearing.

Yeah, still looking for the muffler bearing. What's that made of?

I think the appropriate question is "How much does a henweigh?"

In case you care about being "original": 928s before 1991 had a clear yellow screwdriver, from 1991 onwards it was clear red.

The pliers on the older models were uncoated. Not sure when they got coated. All I know is that the one I bought from Porsche is coated and does not fit correctly.

My pliers in my '86.5 are coated red handles. My screwdriver handle is yellow translucent. I am a vegetarian, so I haven't the foggiest how much a hen weighs. I would presume as often as it cares to know it's own weight ???!!!

Ron: Like mine, your pliers are not original. Sorry...
