    A4 B5 Sport Seat Lumbar Arm

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So i broke the arm for the lumbar adjuster that connects to the throttle type wire controlled by the lumbar switch/dial. I tried Q-Bonding it back together and it broke apart again. So does anyone know of anywhere i can get just the arm or of a 3D printer guru i can send the arm to, to have him measure and reproduce a replica. Here are some pics for reference. Also i think i am the only guy who has broken this part. Cannot find any others who have broken this part.
    I know i didn't post photos from where this exactly goes in the seat but anyone who has torn into the back of a manual lumbar adjustment seat will know where this piece goes. Can post pictures of it in the assembly (removed from car of course) if needed. Thanks.

    And I think I answered my own question per usual. Volkswagen part # 1J0881705Q at 135$, seems to be almost identical to the audi part needed for driver seat part # 8D0881879A at 590$. If anything it can be robbed for parts. I still plan on taking the little arm off and finding someone to 3D print me some new replacements. This may take a bit to do but it will happen. If it breaks once, it will break again. I will try to update this in the future with results.
