hatch mounted tools on drivers side

does anyone have a picture or list of what tools go in the drivers side rear hatch tool niche? All mine has is the wheel lock socket. The rest of the indents are vacant.
thanks

There is a tool kit that was issued in JDM cars. Dont remember what years. If you want i can pull it out and snap a pic. Unless someone has 1 uploaded.

Thumbs up

I've recently been looking for tools for my 98 JDM FD (I live in NZ); finally managed to find some from a 1996 RS - see pic.

The top tray in the pic sits in the left hatch compartment, I'm not too sure where the bottom tray sits since my car doesn't have this. I *think* the tool missing from the bottom tray is a reversible screw driver.

I don't have the tools yet, so I'm not sure what each of them is for (aside from the obvious spanners, storage bolt and wheel brace).

Anyway - hope that helps.

I don't have anything in the first slot. I think it might be a driver for the bits.

The bottom tray in that picture sits on top of the larger tray in the compartment

This is exactly what I have in mine as well (minus the wheel lock socket, I think people just store it there and it did not come this way).

Does anyone with a North American car have anything other than the tire bar and long nut to secure a flat tire?

Look at the parts catalog, it only shows the foam housing, the wheel nut and the hub wrench. Doesn't show if anything goes in those other two slots (as far as the parts catalog is concerned.)

Now that's going to bug the hell out of me.

Thanks, Dave. That is what we needed to know, to hear from an original owner.

Since you're trying to break the key it seems, weld a old bolt to it and use whatever wrench / socket turns it...

another way wheel shops do it, you can sacrifice a socket just slightly smaller than the wheel lock nut that you don't need or willing to replace, and pound the **** out of it w/ a hammer until its fully secured into the lock nut. Then turn it out w/ a rachet

I have an extra molded tool kit holder. Not sure if I have the tools.
