Description

I have not had the problem personally but there are a fair number of reports of C7 drivers being unable to open their gas tank fill cover because the lock gets jammed. The lock can be disabled by blocking the hole into which the locking lever usually extends. Some folks use plastic push pins or rivets or even bolts and nuts. This thing is a custom made locking pin just for this purpose. It has a small ear that locks the pin in the hole in the filler door once it is pressed into place. The pin itself is split so it can easily be removed by pressing the leg with the locking ear so it disengages.

Print 100% infill with supports and rafts.

Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
