Whoops, forgot to add; The Iskra was quoted at approx 10% cheaper currently than both others, hoping for great things, Cheers heaps so far Mr T :-) !Quote:

Also we were going to get a newer style clutch lever handle thingy. . .
Cheers Rossco, you've done more solo HC miles than almost anyone I know mate! No rush on the HM, stress less and enjoy your hard earned time up north with Sir Roofy&Jane !! No need I believe for handle thingy, air actuation on a wider drum will be enroute in the next few weeks:-)Quote:

Thanks Rossco, yep, when you're back from the legendary adventure it would be truly appreciated to learn the finer seal skills etc...:-) Yep, Mr T has planted a sead for over engineering my non-comp toy. Being many years out of the HC exploration game and 40+ now I'm thinking about winching up anything past a blue run :-)

Hey Rossco sounds like you're getting a new air free spool for your winch! Mark won't know if you swapsie =)
Happy to lend a drill and grinder for GQ bar to offset the +drum too :-)Quote:

@MB nice one mate. Yes the answer is A Lot. I have driven with him though which helps a bit too mate. If your going a Deltatek Air free spool then happy days! You should also grab off him a Stealth freespool delete plate. Cheap and a great upgrade. I like the Deltatek over the Gigglepin air freespool as the DT has a smaller centre so will fit more rope.
Ask Phil about an Allbright Solenoid pack and GP longer motor bolts to mount the Allbright.
You should also consider a Gigglepin Brakeshaft. This is a Serious Upgrade. Probably the best upgrade available IMO. Fundamentally better. I Tapped and capped the Warn Brakeshaft which is not bad. ( this is now fitted to ABs winch) the GP Brake shaft is Epic! It's all money though mate. The circlip on the Brakeshaft is almost the weakest link and regardless you need to modify or replace.
Holy cr@p, @MudRunnerTD @Rossco TD:-) slight research extra now and my M/C just up'd and ran :-(

The Warn HiMount will spool out with your switches nearly as quickly as you can walk. I never use my freespool handle now. When i go out with the air freespool it will be awesome don't get me wrong, but it will basically let my Navi pull rope out without restriction and then i can engage the freespool from the cab when I'm hooked up. Without it i would just spool out. No big deal though to be honest.
If i had to choose between a GP Brake Shaft and an Air Freespool my money would be spent on the GP Brake Shaft every single day mate.
Cheers Daz, the safety I was hoping for was the wider drum with thinner core so I can fit plenty of 12mm rope on from your earlier advice, just a bonus I guess it comes with air actuation as standard :-)Quote:

More rope is a bonus, but extension strap if you need it or another length of rope with some spliced ends should deal with most situations. .Quote:

Just trying to save you some cash mate. Seriously consider the GP Brakeshaft though.
I paid $50 to get my drum modified, I bought the modified end cap with the top hat and paid $100
I'll chuck some pics up this arvo.
Ah, you've got the brace kit too. That's another thing to concider / throw more $$ at @MB ☺
Maybe should make a Warn Rebuild thread sticky or something. As one day, one day i will get a high mount and all the info posted in only two pages so far is priceless.
............tp :-)
The brace kit is worth it. There is a kit on eBay for $100 and you will need to find somebody to weld it.
Have a read through this thread Mark...

Yeah I've read through that, and this thread. Just makes me wanna get one. But after todays drive, I really need to upgrade the intake first.Quote:

A couple of pics of my winch from the weekend. Tops off so thought of this thread.
Here is a couple of pics of the Gigglepin (GP) brake shaft difference. It's far more than just a drilled and tapped shaft.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2016/07/43.jpg
The shaft also locks up the second Gear. The main gear is on the drum so the second gear is on the brake shaft.
There is a packer that goes between the casing and the gear the the shaft has a rebate for circlip.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2016/07/44.jpg
There is zero play of the second gear on the shaft. Very cool.
Also I have drilled and bolted the retaining plate to the case. I have had this plate fail on me once so this mod was a no brainer.

Also VERY IMPORTANT. If you have rebuilt a Himount you will have a cardboard pack used to insert the oil seal. You should keep this in your spares kit and carry it. Essential if you have to strip your winch on the tracks!! I might have stripped mine n the bush a couple of times.!!

Cheers Daz, awesome info mate, really appreciated as I'm sure all will too:-) Touched base with Phil again yesterday morning and there's a slight delay on the Iskra motors arrival. Good news is he has a GP brake shaft waiting on the shelf for us also, rebuild dollars are climbing but worth it by the sounds of it !!
