Porsche 914 Factory Tool Kit Wrenches
That's It?
All Porsche 914 tool sets arrived from the factory with a single
double-end spanner made by Hazet, similar to the tools issued in
Volkswagen model vehicles of the same model year. Interestingly, the
size of the wrench issued changed after the Porsche 914 1972 model year
production run despite the fact that there was no
discernable change in the bolt sizes used throughout the cars. This
adjustment should be viewed as a correction, as there are far more 10
mm than 8 mm bolts used on the 914 models. The change does, however,
strengthen the argument that more than one double open-end wrench
should have been included in all Porsche 914 tool sets (as was done in
the 914/6 kits).

1970 - Early 1973 Porsche 914 Wrenches
The 1970 to early 1973 Porsche 914 tool kits came equipped with an 8x13
mm Hazet V-10 double-end spanner (open-end wrench). The wrench was
silver with an oxide finish, was approximately 125 mm long, and had
markings as shown in the pictures at right. Note that the forged
"HAZET" logos on the front and back of the wrench are comprised
entirely of capital letters. Spanners with "Hazet" labels were included
in earlier Volkswagen tool kits, but never in the Porsche 914 sets.

silver or a gold-colored finish, was approximately 120 mm long and had
markings as shown in the pictures at right.
