Winnie's Warn hi mount rebuild

Yeah the square nuts they should. Is there something special about the bolts?

The casing of the winch is made to hold square nuts otherwise it would be a pita getting a spanner or socket behind there as well as trying to hold the winch in place.

Even the square nuts Matt?

As Matt said yes you can, but you might still find they will have to order them in for you. But ring around you might get lucky and find someone stocking the size your after.

Umm go to the bolt shop? Any decent bolt shop should carry these.

Is there such a thing these days Matt as a decent bolt shop?

[Winnie]

No bolt shops in Warragul and BJ bearings don't have much in fasteners so I'm happy to pay $20 rather than drove half an hour in the wrong direction to Pakenham.

And it's not shown on the website but the bolts do have about about a 20mm shank that is not threaded.
Not sure if it matters

Depends on what the bolt is going through, buy usually there is a reason why they use fully threaded bolt over bolts with a shank

This is them.


Anyway here's the stuff I bought... Forgot I also got a new motor input bearing to go in the top hat too

Oww nice! !. Fairlead looks good. Yeah the idea of the shank is to not bugger the housing or thread where they go through in theory. Mines just got normal bolts but it is a slight pain in the butt. . . Need to jam a screwdriver in to stop the nut turning!!

worth 4 bucks at a nut and bolt shop

Ordered some fancy switches too =)
