Toolkit tools, where do you get them?
Hi all, my 68 beetle's toolkit is rather bare. I've got the t-bar for the wheel nuts but thats about it. The jack is there but no bar to raise or
lower it. Where does everyone get there tools and do original ones ever come up for sale cheaply?
Thanks

I have found ebay to be the best place for finding parts like this.

mate do yourself a favour and buy a decent jack,those widowmakers have dropped more cars than you can count. Even when the lift point was in good
condition 40 years ago.(on the upside they are a good porto power)

theres a couple from my bugs kicking around somewhere
my 71 had a pouch made from basket weave vynil same as the seats but my 74s have plain vynil pouches with gold vw logos painted on same as the logbook
case
they just had double ended socket things one for the spark plug and the other end for the wheel lugs, jack handle/hubcap puller, and a screwdriver
pretty basic

I guess jacks have come a long way since then. i just like how it has its spot but i'm willing to sacrafise a little space for something which works
properly. As for the rest of the tools, i'll just keep an eye out here and there i guess. I'm loving that old school feel driving the bug around at
the moment, it sure does attract attention from old and young people. Is it a no no to tint the windows in general as i'm guessing it gets quite hot
in the sun without them? I'll still get it tinted i guess, just want to know if there is some unwritten rule or something?
See ya

Yeah but some things are worth getting i think. I'm sure beetles look good with tinted windows too.
