Michael ChenDescription
I don't expect this to be useful to a huge number of people, but if it is useful to even one person it is worthwhile sharing. As anyone who has a 1.4L Chevrolet Cruze (or similar) and who has tried to remove the ignition coil connector to do plug service knows, the orange lock tab will break if you even look at it the wrong way. I searched far and wide for a replacement part and could not find one. So I measured the original and duplicated it as best I could. Once printed in ABS and cleaned up a bit using an X-Acto knife and sandpaper I vapor polished it and it works like a charm.
