IT EXISTS!
My dad got me with that when I was like 8 years old. The good ol' "son, go grab me the left handed 12mm wrench from the tool box" routine.Yeah, does it work left handed too?
Unbeknownst to me he already had the 12mm in his hand....
15 minutes later my mom comes out to the garage and asks what I'm doing.... I fill her in on the details of my search for this mysterious left handed 12mm wrench I can't find.....and she gives my dad "the look".
Is that one of those fancy slotted brake rotors?
Holy crap.
Bet it dissipates heat until it doesn't.

Ribbed for her pleasure
I have a cresent wrench that adjusts in the opposite direction of any other wrench I have used and is marked in MM. It is a BAHCO brand.My dad got me with that when I was like 8 years old. The good ol' "son, go grab me the left handed 12mm wrench from the tool box" routine.

Having been a father deep into a frustrating repair with the son wanting to help, he may have been saving you from his misplaced frustration. I know I did similar so that I wouldn’t snap at my son, sometimes.My dad got me with that when I was like 8 years old.

Oh, plus it’s funny in a twisted sorta way.
That sux. At 8 I was handed the tools and instructed on how to. By ten years old it was.... "Hey, the Jimmy needs a oil change and a tune up!". " The tires on your mom's car need rotated". I learned that you can't set the timing with the vac advance hooked up real early. Lot's of that stuff doesn't apply to these new electronic contraptions.

Why's the upper control arm grounded, I've never seen that before
Huge Spike In Americans Buying F-15s After Biden Suggests You'll Need Them To Overthrow Government
U.S.—The nation scrambled to buy F-15s and nuclear weapons after President Biden said in a speech Wednesday that you'll never beat a government unless you have the fighter jets and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

When i was in high-school I worked at a real hardware store not a chain... we used to call the local ace and ask if they had metric adjustable wrenches or left hand wrenches 1 a month... they always said they could order them in
I'm waiting for the debate on 19mm vs 3/4" socket.
Duh!

Give Jose a blow job so he can vote for you.
It's an Olds thing best I can tell. The only thing I can come up with is that the speedometer cable actually threads through the driver's side spindle. The grease cap has a cog in in to run the speedometer. Static build up? The passenger side has one also. So that kinda put the wtf on my idea.
It's kinda one of those things that I thought would be cool to put back. The car guys would be interested in it. Others wouldn't even notice.
I'm guessing you have fan(s) on electric motors in front of the radiator.
Static electricity causing arcing across the wheel bearing is the general consensus from a Google search. Good eye on catching it, and good on the OP for installing it. (whether it
serves any real purpose or not)
In that picture I was just mocking up the radiator. I made a template for the welder to make some brackets to mount the fans and shroud. They should be done in a couple days.
What chassis is that in?
It's a 1966 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88. Pretty much a unicorn. The Jetstar was only produced for three years. 64 and 65 were similar and it was redesigned for 66. Then it was discontinued.
The motor makes about 500 ft lbs and 425 hp. The car weighs 4000 lbs. It's kinda a B body. I say kinda because Oldsmobile didn't share much with the other GM brands.

I definitely feel the need to squeeze the Charmin.
