Replacement part custom 3D designed and printed. It is a best effort replacement part since the originals are no longer sold. Please keep that in mind when purchasing. Outer diameter of the lower tube is 57.3MM
Since there are many different Hill Hoist models, please see if the center hub matches with the one pictured. Also if you have any pieces remaining of the old wind brake to match against - I've included many pictures and a video for you to make sure it's the same model.
Printed in Polycarbonate material. With high UV and temperature resistance. Recommended to also apply a dry PTFE lubricant around the inside of the wind brake ring that is in contact the hoist tube.
Installation: Remove the old wind brake. Insert the new part and align the round tabs; push down until the wind brake is sitting flush with the outer pole and the crimped ends have clipped into the cut outs of the wind brake. It should be secure and not be able to move upwards without some force.
Note: Due to the iterative design nature of 3D printing. The part you will receive may be slightly different in appearance as the design changes.
This is a 3D printed substitute product of the original part*. There maybe slight imperfections on the surface due to the 3D printing process. This product has been tested to the best of our abilities but as with all physical products, care should be taken to not over stress the item.
* More information about the 3D printing process: 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process in which three-dimensional objects are created by adding material layer by layer based on a digital model. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, which often involve cutting or moulding material, 3D printing builds objects from the ground up, allowing for highly intricate and customized designs.
