Lexus heater damper servo linkage (87020-30010)

This is the linkage that attaches to the peg on the heater damper hood, which the servo arm peg slots in to in order to raise/lower the hood.

I made this because the peg on my hood was snapped off and the linkage (this part) was missing. I ordered part 87020-30020 from amazon, but the linkage included turned out to only work for the left-hand drive model, however the hood was the same. The correct part number for the right-hand drive model is 87020-30010, but this is harder to find and looks like it must be imported from Japan. Instead of buying that part, I designed this piece based off a photo of the linkage from 87020-30010 that I found online. Miraculously, it worked on the first print, with only slight filing needed of the slot which fits on to the hood. I included the .F3D file as well in case you want to edit it in Fusion.

The second image shows the original linkage from part no. 87020-30020 on the left, and the part I made to replace it to work for RHD models on the right (should match the linkage in 87020-30010).

I printed it in ASA because of it's high temperature resistance though it probably doesn't get that hot in there. I doubt anyone else will ever use this, but if you do let me know!

I used this on my 2005 Lexus IS250, but it should work on a variety of other models, here is a list I found from jp-carparts:
