    I didn't think I was going to be able to find a local who could weld the braces onto the lower housing for me...
    Clint at Warragul Steel Sales is doing it for me now, he used to build race winches all the time so he is the man for the job.
    He is also going to modify the drum end to take the bearing for me. I asked him about smaller drum diameters but he said if I'm not racing it's probably not worth it.

    if its not going to cost an arm and a leg.

    Yeah that would involve even bigger (or twin) motors and 24V which I am just not interested in.
    In the end this winch will be much better than new and be plenty good enough for my needs.

    Nothing wrong with a high mount in stock form.

    Those 9hp draw a crazy amount of current compared to the Warn 6hp and you really need to feed it with 2 batteries.
    Apparently they do not like to be stalled at all and if you do you can ruin them.

    The Warn 6hp with an Allbright solenoid and some nice big 70mm cable will be awesome!

    The smaller diameter drum is not for Racing, it's sole purpose to to allow you to fit More Rope. Instead of running maybe 40m of 10mm rope you might fit 50m. For me I hope to get 45m of 12mm rope on my +76 small diameter Deltatek.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    The good thing about the long cable is being able to double line a longer distance from car without using extension straps,
