I’m not 100% sure but every original I’ve examined did use the spring metal clip. You have to note though that tool kits could be purchased through SA and AC Cars after production ceased on the Cobra and Cobra 427. Some original cars didn’t come with a tool kit, at least as far as the original buyer knows. One owner in our circle never got one with his car and he is the first owner. Somewhere between AC Cars and him, it went lost.
Anyway, not all tool kits in current cars were what came with the car day one, given that it did come with one. Question is, would a concours judge take points off on an original car if the tool kit had a thumb screw wrench clip? Having been involved in a number of concours events with Cobras, doubtful.
