17910.01 is backordered everywhere. Thought I found one labeled as a Steinjager replacement... but after waiting almost two months and being told that it was likely lost in the mail (ExtremeTerrain), Steinjager responded to me saying they are waiting for Omix Ada and the ETA is mid april.

Tired of waiting, I grabbed my broken lever and started measuring. This is my basic prototype to see if it will even fit and turn the door. If the tolerances are good, I'll add the clip at the end and due to the way 3D printing works, I don't want to make the little arm for the actuator, instead I'll use a small screw to attach the actuator arm.

If anyone is in the same boat waiting on the part, I'll share the final file so you can print it yourself or send to a local 3D printer. I'm going to print it solid so that it *hopefully is stronger than the stupid hollow OEM one.

Thanks! Yes, once I've settled on a final design that works I'll share it. First time using my printer in years.... and so far it's working like a champ.
