Seat Release Knob 2005-2014 Ford Mustang

thingiverse

This is a seat release knob for a 2006 Ford Mustang. It has been confirmed to work also on 2005 and will likely work on other years of similar models. The original part should not require the metal spring that comes with it. The one shown in the pictures fits perfectly and securely. I recommend printing this design inverted from the attached STL file using supports. I used Slic3r to generate the supports for my own print job. This version, M2, is designed to work with 2006 and similar model Mustangs. A second version was created by request for a 2014 Mustang and similar models. It's labeled as M3. Contributions towards my design work are greatly appreciated. The replacement part from Ford costs $85 or more in Canada. Update: On September 4, 2017, I updated the shape to make it more regular and increased the fillet on the rounded edges. Both the old and new designs are included in the files. The new one is labeled as M2. Expect to see more variations soon. Further Update: It was pointed out that the M2 version had a flaw. The mounting hole was not deep enough by 2mm. I corrected this issue and updated the file on October 22, 2018. Another Update: A version labeled as M3 has been added. This one may work on models up to 2014. On October 25, 2018, the internal shaft of M3 was extended. Ikeman confirmed that it works on a 2014 model. Thank you for the contribution. Print Settings: Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20%
