Charles, I will answer as best I can your question. I read the entire thread and
so far have not seen an answer for you. I am using the Original Sprite Midget as
a guide and it does not show a picture of the kit for a '74,however it does show
one for the Midget MkII which includes the jack, lug wrench and jack ratchet. It
also shows a grease gun, a spark plug removal tool and I think some feeler
gauges. The picture is on page 84, what your car came with is kit # AKF 1596.I
hope this helps Brad
