Converting to HO Scale - Scaling a traffic light pole

Hello,

I'm considering having a traffic light pole custom made for HO scale (plastic printing), but I'm having trouble getting the scaling correctly.

Attached is a photo of the traffic light pole. I'm trying to get the dimensions as close to HO scale as possible. Currently I have a height of 4.5 in and a width of 4.1 inches for the traffic light pole.

Is this approx HO scale or am I way off? I don't have the original dimensions of the model, but I can resize what I have.

Also, how do you convert something from actual scale / feet to HO scale? Is it just a matter of dividing by 87?

Thanks!!!
