Default DC/MD/VA - Anybody Can Spare the 12 Point Alternator Tool?

Hello folks, I'm repairing my alternator and the new alternator uses the 12 point Allen tool part #(999 571 052 02). My old alternator used (I think) a 6 point Allen wrench. If I'm not mistaken, this tool is part of the emergency kit that comes with the 1996+ 993s. I only need to borrow it for a day or I'll buy it from you if you have a spare. Without question, I'll definitely need it for future projects. Just PM me and we'll workout the details. I just wanted to get my car on the road again and get rid of this rental car.


Thanks,

Ken

You can borrow mine - just send it back when done, no prob. I can get it in the mail for you tomorrow if I get your address tonite. PM me for your mailing address. Do you need the metric open/box end wrench to go with it??? Just let me know.

Ken,
I'll gladly send you the custom wrench I made for my recent alternator replacement. If you're local, we can meet as well. Just let me know.

Good!

You know I be in Columbia this evening, however don't want to commit just yet. When I do get the alternator, it will be out your way, so I'll arrange to pick it up then.

Thanks!

Tony,
You're welcome to pop by tonight and pick it up. I have no need for it right now. We're 10 minutes outside of Columbia.

The Porsche tool is crap. I bought one and all the "crome" flaked off on first use, as well the teeth were bending from 1 use. Here's what you want:
Snap-On
Socket Driver, Metric, Triple Square, Stubby XZN, Blue-Point, 10mm
