Wanna know what factory tools look like........scroll down and see!

This website is about the Special Tools made for Porsche for 356 Porsches! These tools were designed specifically for specific repair and maintance functions that could not be accomplished using normally available tools, or at least these tools make an especially difficult task much easier! Initially, this website willl cover those special Porsche tools designed and made for 356 Pre-A, 356-A, 356-B and 356C Porsches for years 1950 to 1965. As this website grows, additional tools will be added for Carrera 4-Cam Motors. These tools were generally made available to dealers and were not normally sold to the general public. Tools with higher numbers than shown here are 911 or 912 or later tools.

The information presented here is all from Porsche factory sources, including the B/C factory workshop manual, and two factory tool catalogs dated 1960 and 1965. Some tools have been changed slightly over the years reflecting minor changes in the models. Information presented herein includes the factory tool number, the tool description, what the tool is used for, and one or more pictures. Some tools can essentially be duplicated by using readily available common tools, others cannot. Be aware that all factory tools have the tool number stamped somewhere on the tool for identification. These tools do not include the common tools found in the factory tool kits, which are covered in the following website.

The measuring device must be placed horizontally on solid ground and have a firm hold. For this purpose, an adjusting screw is fixed on one of the four legs. Through small modifications the same inspection stand can be used for checking the types: 356, 356-A, 356-B & 356-C.
