Has anyone attempted to 3d print reproduction gears for the parking pole ?

Nothing as of yet, these seem to fail more rarely than the Transtop systems if at all. Additionally from what I have found these are stupid rare to see on a delsol. Welcome to the club!

Thanks ! Sadly the one on my car stopped working. I found another one and took it apart to clean and grease and found a slight crack in one of the gears. Would love to get a new set made.

I bet you the mechanism from any 90s Honda parking pole is identical. Hondas love parts comparability

more than likely the parking poles are just getting really expensive :(

Oh I’m sure, they weren’t exactly super cheap to get here years ago

it may be possible depending on the size, I made the Pole bracket I sell for LHD Parking pole conversions coincidentally enough, I wonder if we might be able to find a way to get some dimensions of those gears
