Lotus Esprit SE - Interior Door Handle Frame

thingiverse

*Disclaimer: Use manufacturer parts whenever possible. These are, as always, make and use at your own risk.* Like many older cars, some parts are becoming hard to find. Also, honestly I am impatient and have a 3D printer specifically for things like this. This part is for the interior door handle on the Lotus Esprit SE, specifically my 1990. I am not sure what other years this may be applicable to but would guess at least 88-92. Printed on a Voron 2.4 with a .5 nozzle at .15 layer height in ABS. Strongly recommend ABS or similar material that can withstand the potential temps the interior of a car can reach. Not compatible with the original part(no mix and match). It is 2 parts per side. This is a modified design that has a holes for 2 x M2 self taping screws. This was added as the original parts are just held in with pressure from the door handle and the door panel. Mine would not stay securely in place and I lost my replacement OEM set hence the update. Listed as a work in progress but seem to work as expected. Forgot to get installed pics and will add those when I get my interior back together.
