Trunk pull

The trunk pull up thread is nice, but it doesn't work for me for two reasons:

1: You need to be able to get a wrench in the back to install it. Can't do that if you have a trunk lid liner

2: It tends to twist because it's a straight bar anchored only in the middle.

I made my own version: Installs with an M4 socket head bolt and M4 expansion well nut.

Because the universe is kind some times, an 8-32 socket bolt and an M4 socket bolt have dimensions within a percent or two of each other, and a 5/16th 8-32 well nut and an 8mm M4 well nut are again almost identical in size, down to the flange size, so I sized it for both.

The one on the car is printed with orange silk PLA, which is OK. First time using it.



STL available if anybody cares.
