Original pouch of tools

ducatistaMember

Hello everyone,
I am trying to maintain my pushbutton as original as possible (I confess that is very tempting looking at the beautiful rides on this forum to modify away and rod it up). I have collected thus far - starting from the pouch - the Battaini car lift, the ratchet tool with the extension, the lug nut wrench, window emergency opener squiggly looking tool, pliers and belts but am missing the wrench tools as I cannot source them anywhere. Though I wish they were USAG/ BETA/ Craftsman, and not 70's crappy generic tools, I am stuck with the low cost originals. Anyone has a picture of what he the wrenches look like or willing to share some pictures of the complete original pouch? They are great for the fire mantle!!!

Originality is a pain, my pushbutton is going only in one boring direction it seems. So far I love it.
Thanks a bunch!

I have never been able to figure out the part numbers of the belts. Do you by any chance have the part number on the packaging of the original spare belts?

What a coincidence! I wrote an illustrated 4 pg article in the April 2014 POCA Newsletter on Pantera tools, and followed it up with a supplement in May. Then I did one on Mangusta tools which also had shots of Longchamp, Deauville and other cars' on-board tools.

To my knowledge, the Pantera vee belts were included in one iteration of the tool kit and not included in another with a different part number, but the belts themselves do not have separate part #s. The open-end wrenches also had no p/n's (nor even sizes).

I have seen vintage photos of the belts with cardboard sleeves around the belts, but have never been able to read the numbers. Figured if someone had the numbers, I could check eBay periodically

This is a photo I could source. The pantograph car lift is the hardest to source by far. The screw drivers are still bing made in Italy. The pliers are very very disappointingly "original art" from the 70's. Electrician pliers, better as a hammer than for anything else.......

and here is a close up of the wrenches

the 14-17 and the 10-12 do not match the other 3 so I doubt if they are original.

From the photo I noticed the 10-12 does have a makers mark. when I get a chance I'll try to determine what it is, even though it is not an exact copy given the box end angles differ.
