What's the little thing just left of center that looks like a ring with a hook coming off it?

It's amazing how you learn new stuff about 928s even after years. I recognised it as wheel lock cover tool, but I never knew it had space in tool tray! It has always lived in centre console box in my car!

Not all years have that space in the tool tray.

As far as I'm aware only GTS toolkits have that!

Odd b/c wheel lock changed during GTS years. On my late '94 there's a special locking nut for each wheel with a specific socket you use. My car didn't have the little ring-with-hook, so perhaps when Porsche went to the new type wheel locks they also thought to quit supplying the ring-thing ...

Even early '94's have the non cap wheel locks with special socket, I had no such tool as purchased - but not sure about new - there were a few other things missing.

Can you also use these to remove the wheel center caps?

Wow, thanks Tom. I never knew something went there. Hope 928 Intl has one during their Christmas 1/2 price sale

I hope this is a "chime in" rather than a "highjack" - the thread title is just made for searching so I thought my Q's might be useful (well, not the Q's maybe but the A's). Two burning questions- where does the lug wrench go (mine is a Klein, have no idea if it is original)?, and where do you stow the jack? I'm trying to minimize rear end rattles (puh-leeez!)...

I have my jack tucked away on the right side behind the tool panel. Doesn't fasten to anything, just kinda snuggles in place there ...

Lug wrench goes in front of the spare. Should be a slot in the plastic surround.

That ring thing looks exactly like the center cap puller on my wife's R32.
