I've no idea about this. How would I go about getting 2 of this part 3d printed? I have a .stl file if that's what is needed. Around how much should I be paying?

www.3dhubs.com says from £4 depending on the material. There are various material options there, just do the instant quote thing and upload the stl file.

They are a little costly on postage, so expect another £5 on top.

It does look like there are a couple of issues with the model, but I would push a order through and add a note for the printer to see if they think they will cause a problem - I've had a few bits done and the printer either tweaked things or said it'd work anyway.

Thanks for that.

If you use 3D Hubs ask for them to be printed in Nylon, PETg or ABS. PLA is cheapest but will shrink in the sun in a car over a year or so.
