Description

This is the plastic piece that commonly breaks on Toyota Tacoma's that have locking fuel doors.

Instructions

This is a very simple fix if you have a 3D printer. I used both a makerbot and ultrabot to print the part. The ultrabot had a finer resoultion so the part came out with a better fit. The best way would be to first add a washer on, and then the cap, then the lock. Super glueing the lock and cap. The washer isn't shown, but would be good to help prevent the plastic lock from catching on the metal housing.

I too was admiring the jet fuel sticker! Great idea on the fix. 8-)

What did you use to create this in?

I used solidworks

Awesome fix. I am more fond of the "Jet Fuel Only" sticker on the door. :-P
