Saturday arvo.
I have just removed the wire cable off the winch drum of my Warn winch. It was secured to the drum with a very short bolt with a rounded head with a 5/8ths hex key hole. (see pic). Problem is, is that the bolt is too short to attach the synthetic rope onto the drum & the only bolt I have of the right thread has a standard hex head. (Also in pic).
What I need to know is whether I should use my hex head bolt or whether this is likely to damage the synthetic rope. I suspect that this is the case, but am hoping otherwise, as it will be Tuesday before I can get to the bolt shop.
