Description

VW Volkswagen Beetle, Ghia Turn Signal Auto Return Spring Retainer Hook Clip Replacement Retainer Hook pieces for VW Beetle, Ghia (and others possibly) Turn Signal Switch Assemblies that are often broken. These little hook pieces hold the "W-Spring" and allow the "auto return" to work and cancel the turn signal after turn is made. Turn Signal assemblies require 2-pieces to replace all. These are VERY small pieces and as such the actual "hook modeled" piece is difficult to print well. My Anet A8 struggles to accurately make these, due to small size. So due to this, I also included an "Uncut" piece that prints without the "hook" which then allows you to add a "notch or hook" feature yourself with a small file, Dremel etc. The "uncut" file probably produces a better, stronger piece ultimately (in my opinion). However if your printer is adept at "small pieces" go for it, they print fast so no real loss. This is a bit of a "work in process" and is my first design done in CATIA, so let me know if any questions, concerns, anecdotes etc. Thank you Polypetalous (Ben).
