Made with high-quality rubber insulation, this durable component is sold individually. Please note that the housing, trigger, and hardware are not included and must be purchased separately. For proper installation, refer to your model’s diagram, and be prepared to use tools such as pliers and a wrench set.

It was so easy anyone can do it. And the c able fit perfect.
