Yes, I'm certain I intentionally tossed it awhile back. Short story this restoration is been @17 yrs on / off. At some point very early on, I bought locking lug nuts specifically for 911's but remembered I didn't like the way they looked, stuck out like a sore thumb, I'm very particular btw. Later I found these and thought they looked essentially invisible, designed specifically for early 911's.
But when using the tool, it would slip off, pull out of the inner nut while removing or installing and just fell short on the actual service side. There are only two wheels that still have these, LR / RF - go figure. I don't know why but likely the time over the years as well as other numerous restorations I have done, that thought process was incomplete.
I do remember @ 5-6 years ago doing something with removing the wheels again and deciding to toss the locking lug nuts / tool. But clearly only addressed 2 of the 4 wheels in the process.
