November 4, 201510 yr Those door handle trim pieces for sure... it's like they were made of dust and some elmers glue
November 5, 201510 yr There are a few other bits starting to turn up on Thingiverse : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1112915 I'm still working on a few of those listed, just waiting for the Scanner to be completed ... :/Cheers, Bantum ...
December 7, 201510 yr I have access to CAD program, Solidworks. I have modeled some plastic parts, and had prototypes printed for work. They are better now than even a few years ago. Nicer finish costs more. Better stronger plastic costs more. Still have to hand sand and that sort of thing to get things to look like they were injection molded.
December 8, 201510 yr Cheers, Bantum ... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1065522 Came across these literally on Thursday, and wondered if Bantum was a member.
December 8, 201510 yr I too would love to purchase reproduction parts and would like to assist if at all possible as well.
December 9, 201510 yr ihscout54 wondered if Bantum was a member … Yep I'm one & the same ... I'm still working on the scanner atm, will post up the results as soon as I can get it working ... Meanwhile here are some other bits : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1065522 More here : http://www.thingiverse.com/Bantum_Works/collections/subaru-bits- P.S. - I'm only copying them in 3D - you'll still have to find a 3D printer ... Ciao, Bantum ... Edited December 9, 201510 yr by Bantum
December 20, 201510 yr Anybody have the three D scan setup for these clips? Edited December 20, 201510 yr by Dinky26
December 21, 201510 yr I own a 3D printer and I am somewhat certified in solid works. I can probably see what I can do for this thread. I have made some models of car parts before. That was for a Starion i have. I am sure I can try and work on some of these clips.
December 21, 201510 yr Still working on it - nearly got the 3D scanner finished, will be up & running in the new year hopefully ... Cheers, Bantum ...
December 31, 201510 yr Alright folks, my son has the technology and the skill to create a file and print these. I need good pictures with dimensions or one each of the clips (they will be returned) so we can take measurements. Who can help so we can bring this dream to fruition!
January 1, 201610 yr Sounds like a plan. I'll check with my local dealership... If they can find a pair somewhere I'll get the'this moving on my end.
January 1, 201610 yr The end caps for the trim would be good as well. I have a pair but am missing the other pair.
January 1, 201610 yr Good call. I have a good one, I'll get measurements off of this and reverse it for the opposite side. I'll go by the dealership tomorrow and get part #s and pictures of the pieces (maybe even locate a set) so that we can get this rolling. I'm thinking we'll want to cast these in resin vs 3D printing as I don't want these to split when a screw is put to them or crack when they are snapped into place. If I can't find the clips I might be sending out a call to action for folks to send me old clips so we can take measurements, they would all be returned. Stand by...

January 1, 201610 yr Subaruparts.com does have them in stock. If you print in nylon they should be as durable as the originals, I have been doing some prints with nylon and it is the best and worst material which is how it goes with 3D printing. PLA is easiest to stick, but weakest, ABS harder to stick but better parts, and nylon is a nightmare to stick but you get a superior end result. I have been printing onto a sheet of 1/4 nylon clamped to the bed.
January 2, 201610 yr Do you have part #s or a direct link, I couldn't find them on the site and I went through all 34 pages. Thx
January 2, 201610 yr Yeah, they are pretty poorly described, they call them screw gromets. Follow the link in my signature to my Brat, I posted the part numbers and pics in there.
January 9, 201610 yr Alright folks, I went by the dealership for a little recon (and visit the BRAT) the other day and have some good news... 1.) They have the original parts manual for the BRAT (which I will be digitizing). 2.). The parts in question are all "currently" available, all be it a bit pricey ($3-8 each?!?) 3.). I ordered at least one of each clip needed and will be scanning to see about reproducing so we can get the cost down. Here is the trim clip page with part numbers for your ordering enjoyment if you want the originals. Stay tuned... Edited January 9, 201610 yr by tundrabrat
January 13, 201610 yr So these are available. Unless there are cries for after market I'm going call this case closed. Edited January 13, 201610 yr by tundrabrat
January 14, 201610 yr Subaruparts.com Part Number 791017200 Part Name CLIP MSRP $1.06 Part Number 791017130 Part Name SCREW GROMMET MSRP $1.70 Also, I don't think those are 30 years old, there is no yellowing and they are fresh and flexible instead of brittle. I can't imagine Subaru doing a production run of these so they must be sourced from some other use but I can't imagine what. Edited January 14, 201610 yr by subarubrat
January 22, 201610 yr $1.36 screw grommet http://www.buysubarupartsnow.com/oe-subaru/791017130 $.66 clip http://www.oepartsmart.com/oe-subaru/791017200
