3D Printable Wire Bending Jig for fuel injector clips

Postby SomeoneTakeTheWheel » Mon 12.10.2026, 19:20

In replacing my fuel injectors, I didn't like the condition of some of the little wire clips that lock the electrical connector on. I decided to make my own, but they are a very specific shape. So I designed a jig that would let you bend and trim 0.9mm spring steel wire into the exact shape needed.

I recommend printing in PETG or ABS or stronger. I printed in PLA and the strength of the steel wore that jig out after 2 uses.

Interesting, do you have any other 3D prints relating to our cars?

Only a couple hub-centering rings for aftermarket wheels. But if I create anything new, I will let you all know.

Could you download the 3d file for this tool into the forum? There is a section in Manuals for 3d files. I could do it but I don't want to presume!
Thanks for your work and help in keeping our Elans on the road!
