Let us know what you have in mind., Call Tim at or email [Email Dealer], Here's some more background information about the toolkit: Starting in about 1950, German toolmaker Hazet, who for decades has built custom tools for the likes of Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, began producing little round, plastic toolkits for Porsche 356s and VWs. Why round? Easy storage in the center of the car's spare tire. There were two types of kits — the one for Porsches had "Hazet Tourist" stamped on the cover, while the logo-junkies over at the Peoples' Cars had a big VW sign imprinted on theirs. The VW-branded box could only be ordered through Volkswagen dealers and, interestingly, is the only third-party accessory ever allowed by the factory to be sold with the VW logo., According to VW sources, here were the features introduced with the 1961 model year: 1961 (1 Aug 60 to 31 July 62), Chassis 3,192,507 - 4,010,994, Engine 3,912,904 - 3,924,022, 5,000,001 - 5,958,947, Note the change in the model year dates. 1200cc engine, 40bhp (SAE), 34BHP(DIN), 7:1 compression., Fuel pump relocated to right of distributor., Generator stand now separate from block., Lifter and pushrods no longer one-piece units., Valves are angled in heads., 28 PICT carby with auto-choke., Fully synchromesh transmission., Vacuum advance distributor., Positive crankcase ventilation (spiral grove in crankshaft behind crank pulley)., Flatter fuel tank., 28 blade cooling fan., Tie rod ends ‘permanently greased'., Sissy bar added., Non-repeat starter switch., Wider front shoes and linings., Transparent brake fluid reservoir., Pump type windshield washer., Push-on wiring connectors., Larger heater pipes., Sun visor and grab handle for passenger., $13,995
