Description

This is a replacement for the plastic socket connector that retains the top stud of the front parking/turn signal lamp assembly to the headlight panel on 1998 - 2000 North American Ford Rangers. These plastic connectors become very brittle with age and will probably disintegrate if you have to replace the corner lamps on these trucks. Without them, it's very hard to get the lamps to fit correctly as the only other retainers are the two screws at the bottom of the assembly.

EDIT: Thanks to user jj_starr this has been verified to work on an '03 Ford Expedition and may fit other models of Ford cars and trucks within the late '90's/early 2000's generations. Happy printing!

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.
