Mark,
Here are some pictures of my tool pouch that belong to my 850 Mark IIA, which is the same as the 850 Mark III tool pouch.

The overall length is about 12 inches and the width is 6 inches. The pouch height is 6 1/2 inches. The top corners have a radius to them and are not square while the bottom corners are square.

The black pouch material which has leather like appearance is a non cloth backed vinyl that measures .012 inches thick.

The light grey binding has a herringbone pattern and is 1.015 inches thick and 3/4 inches wide before being folded.

The darker grey tie ribbon is a non cloth backed vinyl which also has a leather like appearance and measures .012 inches thick. It is also 3/4 inches wide and approximately 28 inches long. The ribbon is folded in half and then saddles over both sides of the top of the pouch. The binding covers this and all are sewn down together.

I hope this is of some help, and if you need more information let me know.

Fantastic, thank you for taking the time to do that for me. Mark
 
Thanks from me too, Peter! I was promised the original tool set when purchasing my Mk III two months ago, still waiting... nice to see what the pouch looks like, and to have a detailed description.

I think there are reasons for the delay, one being the POs broken heart having sold the bike "he was going to keep forever".

He has my sympathies, but for the bike's sake, the tools and pouch should go with it. Now that the Holidays are over, I will be contacting him again.

Original MK IIII tool kit recieved! Wrenches are Geodore, nice clean screwdriver and Lucas points tool too! Pouch vinyl is supple.

Rode up from Seattle to Vancouver B.C. via backroads in the rain on my Triumph sidecar rig. Took the rural route home as well, overcast but clear and cold.

A great ride, and something to show for it!

Good Evening

I have managed to make what I think is a very good replica original tool kit bag, unfortunately I'm unable to attach any images for you all to have a look at and see what you think. I'm a bit of a computer dim whit when it comes to things like this. Not sure if it can be done via pm and I'd be reluctant to give out my email address.
