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.
It would be nice to have a comp spec winch
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.
8274 is the bee's knees

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.
thats a decent amount of rope [45mtrs]
Can only wish or take spare.
A HiMount comes from the factory with 40m of steel cable.
The good thing about the long cable is being able to double line a longer distance from car without using extension straps,
And thats why its the bee's knees of winches, and worth every penny tooQuote:
