Im hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I can’t find any information on these plastic threaded sleeves that lock the pole sections in place. Both of mine have cracked and I'm looking to replace them. There are no markings on the pole either which adds to the mystery. Thanks everyone!

I’m waiting to hear back from them, it looks like what they have available are the internal cams for twist lock poles.
The version of the whisker pole that you have is from the early 1970's. Since it is a three-section pole, the internal lock repair kit is part number 400010. I just signed up for this site today. I hope someone from Forespar gets back to you. If not, the kit can be ordered on their website. Just put the six-digit Paret number into the search box in the upper right-hand corner of their website home page, and it will take you to where you need to go. Instructions for taking the pole apart, installing the locks, and putting the pole back together are included with each kit shipped.
