Does anyone have the STL file for 80 series center caps? TIA!!
hello, long time lurker, just had to register to ask if this can be shared?
in need of power streeting plate and buttons for power seats. any info would be highly appreciated. please and thanks my LC brothers.
Best of luck. I got zero replies. Maybe 80 owners don’t have a 3D printer?

There's plenty of folk that have 3d printers or access to them.
If you want to 'give value', then pick your favourite 3D modeling program and design stuff and then post up the files for everyone to share...
I use solidworks since both my mechie sons can drive the tool well and I can always 'ask for help' to design something that's beyond my rudimentary skillset. Solidworks for 'makers' is pretty cheap if you knock a few designs together each year.
Here's just a couple of things that have worked out really well (the orange brackets):
cheers,

@george_tlc I'm still too cheap for $50 a year 
That said, FreeCAD is finally turning into a borderline mature program. It's got its quirks, but every version is improving by leaps and bounds.
@tattoo80 and @Dlathem , I think more than a few of us have printers, but I don't have models for your parts.

Dang that’s cool!!! What do you use to bend it?
I didn't bend it. SendCutSend bent it, precisely where I specified the bend to be.
SendCutSend made both pieces. Here they are installed, with the one with the studs inside the RTT channel, and the other clamping the load bar. Honestly, anything I could have bought was subpar and just as expensive...
Custom license plate bracket made and powder coated by SendCutSend
3D Printing allows custom manufacturing, and with vendors like SendCutSend allows custom metal fabrication.

Man that is too cool! I had no idea that even existed.
are you referring probably the most resourceful bunch of people on the planet (80's owners) not being able to harness 3D printing?
meh, i dunno about that!
Does anyone still make extended step nuts for the foot plate in the second row?
How about the plastic ring that goes around the ignition. Anyone making these?
Those original ones must all be toast on rigs by now...at least in the warmer year around climates.

Ignition Ring
Ignition Ring replacement, available in different colors. If you are missing the Courtesy light we have added another option. The picture above is with the courtesy light that turns on green. The u shaped part is to protect the part in shipping it can be reused for another purpose
