Porsche 914 Factory Tool Kit Lug Wrenches
If It's Good Enough for a Volkswagen...
All Porsche 914 factory tool kits included an unmarked two-piece lug
wrench. The wrench is comprised of a 19 mm socket and a black-painted,
bent-tip tommy bar, approximately 375 mm in length. As noted below, the
socket underwent a minor transformation following the 1974 model year,
but the associated tommy bar was consistent throught the entirety of
the Porsche 914 model production. Note that a longer tommy bar and
variations of this socket were produced for use in earlier VW
applications (including a reversible lug/spark plug), so be
vigilant when searching for a correct lug wrench to complete your
Porsche 914 tool kit.

1970 - 1974 Porsche 914 Lug Wrenches
Model year 1970-1974 Porsche 914 vehicle tool kits contain a 19 mm
lug socket
that is 140 mm in length and has a black oxide finish. The tommy bar is
the black, 375 mm bent-tip style present in all 914 tool kits.
1975 - 1976 Porsche 914 Lug Wrenches
The 1975 and 1976 model year cars were equipped with a slightly
shorter
19 mm lug socket (100 mm in length) with a silver-cadmium or zinc
plated
finish. The change to this shorter socket may have actually occurred
during the 1975 model year (as opposed to between the 1974 and 1975
model year production runs).
