unfortunately, this file is not usable as it is, it is not a native Fc
moreover Fc sheetmetal only unfolds parts without stampings
this small part is quickly easy to redraw (without stampings to have the cutting and bending plan
after unzipping, the file is just a little too big to be attached (1.016 Mo)
