Nikko Turbo Panther / Thunder Eagle Steering Arm Retention Clip

thingiverse

This is a steering arm linkage clip to replace a lost or damaged one from the vintage Nikko Turbo Panther, Thunder Panther, Thunder Eagle, Turbo Eagle etc. and similar cars. It's not intended to be an exact copy, instead to be a close approximation which is dimensionally accurate to the original, in such a small form as to be largely unnoticeable. It's designed to be friction fit and appears fine, however I decided to use a hot blade to lightly bend over one of the arms so as to grab the arm and hopefully not get lost. Note that as this is friction fit it is designed tight, use a 1.5mm drill bit to expand the hole by hand a little, bit by bit till you get a tight grip, that should be the only adjustment needed.
