Savage Rod Holder Cap

Salt, sun and vibration are brutal on Savage plastics, and the rod holder cap usually gives up first. A tougher printed replacement breaks that cycle. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break

Rod holder caps crack and let water into the gunwale. The original was moulded thin to save cents at production volume. That was fine when the plastic was fresh — twenty years on, there's no margin left in it.

How we reproduce them

Reproducing one is straightforward for us: we measure your sample (broken is fine, as long as most of it is there), match the profile, and print in a tougher modern material. Turnaround is usually within the week.

We print these in ASA. ASA is the UV-stable cousin of ABS — it holds its colour and strength through years of Australian sun where the original plastic went chalky and brittle.

Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
