944 revival after sitting for 16 years
I would not recommend PLA for any automotive application. Its resistance to temperature is insufficient. You may think it is cool enough under the car, but that is where the air passing through the radiator exits. I would recommend you reprint your clamps with CF or glass filled ABS (or ASA) at minimum.
