Original travel kits sometimes come up for sale. You could watch the Registry classifieds or The Samba.

Sierra Madre Collection sells reproduction travel kits. I think Harvey L. Rosenthal may also put them together and sell them. Autos International can reproduce the bags.

When Porsche sold travel kits most of the gaskets came in a flat pasteboard box and spare lightbulbs and fuses came in a plastic box (metal before 1957). Some of reproduction kits feature the flat pasteboard box but the original bulb boxes can be hard to find.
