I decided to bight the bullet and bought the Gigglepin brake shaft kit. Thinking over what MB said earlier, the GU is a tank, safety first. Ended up paying $376 including delivery for it. I couldn't say no. I'm wondering if the Giggplepin top hat shaft upgrade kit is worth doing too. The gear seems fine in mine, spins nice, not lose or notchy.

Nice edit, happy days still mate :-)
We might have a standard width Delta air drum floating around so you can blank that off I believe? Would need replacement within say 12 UK £ months ;-)

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.

righto. what are you wanting for it? Edit : Never mind. just saw what they are worth. A bit out of my league. Would be a nice addition though.

Ordered and paid for it last night Darren. Cheers for the offer though mate. I also bought the freespool eliminator too. After some reading it seems the freespool lever is a waste of time to use and has been known to freespool by itself. Not taking that chance, so for $70 it was a no brainer.
Darren you think the top hat bearing upgrade kit would be worth it?

Not really mate. I fitted it to ABs winch specifically because we had to swap out the top hat gear. Warn dont sell a separate tophat gear. The tophat is a single part number and not serviceable. GP have deaigned that part so it is.

Guys running Hellfire gear sets have to change that tophat gear too so that would have been the catalyst for GP designing a bush replacement there. its a cool little kit but a very very small % gain.

Stop pulling little old 2.5hp geared scrub weeds out AB mate or we’ll have to get Daz to install some Demons in your 8724 15mm cable, my old bad :-)
Nice 6hp rebuild for sure gents!!
“Hellfire’s” sound wicked Darren, please do kindly teach what they’re all about?
Well beyond our needs but we’re super keen to learn a bit please brother!
