Re: [T3] A rare one is up

<x-flowed>The Finnish site gutefahrt.com has a page about spare tire tool kits 
that lists the contents of the Type 3 kit:

This list is actually not quite right because as Dave points out it 
also includes a 27mm wrench for the generator. Many of the tools are 
slightly different than the ones in the Beetle kits too. These kits are 
much larger than the others (made to fit the wheel instead of the hub 
cap) and include more tools. The box itself is plastic which might be 
one reason why so few of them survived.

Jason, you really hit a nerve when you posted those search keywords!
