Yes I do remember them, those semi stiff pieces of plastic tubing about
3/32" diameter that you stuck (not very firmly) into a hole in the can's spray cap.They got misplaced very easily too. I used to tape length of plastic soda straw with it's bottom end folded closed to the side of the WD-40 can to have a spot to keep it in.
Now, what did "LRT" mean? I'm guessing the "LR" stood for "long reach", but did the "T" stand for "tube"?

Little Red Tube is what I've always heard it referred to
One drop of good "crazy glue" on the edge od the tube before sticking it in the first time. and the only way to loose the tube is with the nozzle attached. I use something called "last glue" Works fantastic - even for splicing "O" ring material.
Little Red Tube.
They were retained by either clear celophane tape, or I used rubber bands. Both didn't hold.
