i need some help because we ran out of ratchet gears to use we had one and another team is using it please give us some substitute.
The ratchet and pawl packs are back in stock.
Buy one and build?

Any standard 12 or 24 tooth gear with a pawl should work. A 24 tooth gear has the most similar size to a 16 tooth ratchet. If you don’t have any spare pawls, I’ve used a Small Chassis Corner Connecter with a rubber band in a specific orientation to work as a pawl.
I made this YouTube tutorial a while ago that includes an alternative that still allows ratcheting.

You could use a sprocket and a standoff connecter with a rubber band in a ratchet setup. It should work in the same way.
