Default Tool to properly lock center locks.

This is the tool the Porsche factory guys used during the Nurburgring last year when the ran the GT3RS.

Helps locate the lock properly in the center locks.

Made in Germany – factory race part.

Just get a bolt with appropriate head size, cross-lock 2-3 nuts on the end and you have the same thing.
