other Which tool kit correct for 1972 ?

[gary]

Looking to complete car

Need to know which tool kit ?

[Mike Self]

AFAIK the tool kits on all 2002s contained the same tools:  double-ended screwdriver (grey plastic handle with a removable blade that has Philips on one end, flat blade on the other), spark plug wrench that's turned by the screwdriver, arc joint pliers and three double-ended open end wrenches.  Don't remember offhand the sizes, but I know there's a 17mm, 13mm, 10mm and 8mm.  Actually it may be just two (too lazy to go out to the garage and check!)  Everything is contained in a vinyl roll-up tool pouch--colors vary as I think they used up scraps of vinyl to make the pouches.

Hey mike

i never did find a tool roll

i believe they were different in 1967 that

1976 I wish I had a example of the early version

Hi!  I was told that that this tool roll I have was from a 1971 so probably correct for a 1972.  Hope this helps as an example of what you are looking for to complete your car!!  The second bigger screwdriver is just an extra I have, not in the original set. And there is an arc joint pliers not pictured in the set also.  Nancy:)

The middle screwdriver is a cuckoo in the nest. There is supposed to be a pair of slip joint pliers in there.

I know an old German mechanic who can rebuild the entire car with a complete tool kit

Well these days my 74 seems to need a very large tool kit!

 

Didnt someone on here reproduce the wallet, I think Jaymic had it at one stage as well, minus the tools of course. I thought there was a pair of water pump pliers or just adjustable pliers as well...... memory fails me a lot these days?

Subtract "cuckoo" middle screwdriver, add correct pliers...yay...a complete proper tool kit roll !!!!

I believe the original set is as shown on the Parts Manual page below (the long skinny rod was not included &, as Mike said, the screwdriver was used with the plug socket wrench). Many of the double-ended screwdrivers you see have slots in the handle, the original '02 ones didn't. Screwdrivers with slots are probably from the E21 & on.

For some reason, the pliers were named "water pump pliers".....no clue why.

A plier of that design was used to adjust the gland nut on water pumps (not the automotive type) back in the day.  The book writer must have been a plumber.

My ‘76 (VIN 2742541, April 23, 1976) was produced “late in the game” — after BMW engineers had learned that fuel injection was just a flash in the pan — and its original screwdriver handle is un-slotted. ?

 

But I must warn you: I gave that double-ended screwdriver a good bang with the heal of my hand — it looked like a hammer to me — and the double-ended shaft came out the (originally-closed) end of the handle and embedded itself in my hand. Another painful lesson in automotive repairs, fortunately forty years in the past... ?

 

The scar, which appears to be gone now, was the shape of a Phillips head screwdriver. I kid you not! ?

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

We need pictures

There have been plenty of posts regarding factory-supplied tools, e.g., https://www.bmw2002faq.com/forums/topic/59301-heyco-300-waterpump-pliers/  Somewhat akin to Conserve's experience, the water pump pliers are most useful for slipping and ultimately pinching a user's skin and drawing blood.  The parts catalog omitted inclusion of a tetanus shot, although maybe that was an aftermarket dealer option.?
