Have anyone done a "HOW TO" about pressurizing a winch.
Just remembered I have a spare winch here to get it right

I have simply drilled and tapped a screw in barbed fitting into my motor housing ensuring to miss the field magnets. Then run some hose to an old airhorn low pressure pump I had lying around. When I turn on the winch isolation it turns on the compressor. Its pretty noisy but still blows air, so I may even put a separate switch for just the air compressor.

Nah bugger that! Junk it! Not a waste, it's simply obsolete. You have replaced it for safety reasons then you want to put it back into the recover. No way. It's junk. Recycle bin is where it belongs.
Buying 50m of synthetic rope for your winch and cutting off 20m for an extension strap for the win. It's lite, it's safe.
Buy 60m and cut it in half. Half on the winch and half as an extension. After a fair it of use swap them. You now have anew winch rope and a spare as an extension.
Junk the wire.
Wheres the best place to buy new rope these days?

Have to agree 3D, the days of wire are gone mate and so they should with the strength and easiness of rope for splicing for extensions and breakages, etc.
There's a video somewhere I put up when I did mine and if done correctly is a stronger permanent fix then the rest of your rope.
Easy to handle, easy to store extensions, happy days!
Yeah its been a while since i bought new rope, the current rope is a bit worse for wear but i keep putting it off.
