Hey Gents,

Anyone know of a place or have anything kicking around?

Even if I have to piece it together.

Thanks
Rod

Can anyone post or send me a picture of a kit so I can tell if anything is missing?
Preferably a 2001 991TT.

Any particular piece that you want? Would it be more useful to put your own kit together with cheap tools from CT or princess or my new favorite harbor freight?

The only thing that gets used on my tool kit is the threaded rod to hold the wheel and the tire key.

No difference. So you would rather buy something online from outside Canada (probably twice the cost) than meet a fellow Renlister that has a spare?

Because it would be nice to have the real thing like it was meant to be.
And yes those are really the only pieces I need.

twice the cost? Seems you can find it on ebay for 1/3rd the cost(incl shipping) compared to locally
If someone has a spare, or its fs locally. Thats good. But if you cant source it here, something like ebay is a logical next step.

Ive had to source all kinds of hard to find car items on ebay. Whats the issue?

Here is a photo of my spare tire/accessories in the frunk and the tool kit opened (its seen better days)
Looks like it comes with the tools to lift the car and a tow hook/phillips and flat screwdriver and a wrench. Hope this helps....

maybe try one of the porsche dismantlers like nine apart or whale tale.

make sure you have a tow hook just in case, tow trucks don't usually have them if you ever need a flatbed.

Not sure I'd rely on the tire lug, I tried to change out a flat last year and split the socket on the first lug. now I carry a breaker bar with a deep socket.
