Chevy/GMC underhood retractable light, locking arm

thingiverse

**UPDATE** The design has been modified slightly from the the pictured print, the new design is easier to snap in/out. I've included the original version as well... they both work. I have one of these Hobbs lights under the hood of my F150, but they came from the factory in a lot of Chevrolet/GMC trucks and SUV's from the late eighties to the late nineties. I come across them sometimes at the Pull-a-Part and they almost ALWAYS have a broken "arm" that locks the retractable light to the reel. I've found ones that were intact just to have the arm break off the first time I touch it :-/ The one in my truck was missing, so when I came across an intact one I decided to copy it (before it broke) so that I could fix mine and any others I come across. There is an inherent flaw in the OEM design, for whatever reason there's a super weak portion between the pivot point and the "PUSH" section where the plastic is only 1.4mm thick (versus 5.1mm for the rest of the arm)... I eliminated that in my copy so that the whole arm is 5.1mm thick.
