Is there a reason you and Rossco are side mounting filler?

Aesthetics????

The bar work hides the filler bolt and it will be a million times easier to fill up blokes.

Aesthetics only. I sorta like the stock look on top with the warn sticker. No bars to hide mine =)

Just like to be different hahaha. Yeah probably aesthetics. Have just taped mine now, I'll chuck some photos up when it's all done. Happy to fill using squeezy bottle, do this for gearbox etc won't be too much of a hassle considering the amount of times need to do it.

Not a bad idea of combing breather & full plug. . . Might toy with that idea. . .

Yep especially considering the volume needed and frequency of oil changes... I see no problem..

It was $24.95 mate. That's nt what I need anyways. You don't need them either AB, you just need a couple of longer bolts.

I need 1 or 2 of the square nuts used to hold the top hat on. Hey Winnie you haven't got any in that box of your have you?

Alternatively you could drill and tap big enough for a filler on the side then instead of a plug bolt use a male/female reducer and fit a pnuematic fitting and your breather in the same hole.

So do you mean that when you unscrew your breather then that becomes your fill hole?

Yes mate. But the air line fitting I used for my breather is too small so fitting that fitting into a reducer so it can thread into a bigger hole would work fine mate.

So say you have a 1/2" hole tapped" fit a 1/2" to 1/4" reducing socket then fit a 1/4" air line. When you want to fill it just take out the 1/2" socket

The casing of the winch is made to hold square nuts otherwise it would be a pita getting a spanner or socket behind there as well as trying to hold the winch in place.

As Matt said yes you can, but you might still find they will have to order them in for you. But ring around you might get lucky and find someone stocking the size your after.

No bolt shops in Warragul and BJ bearings don't have much in fasteners so I'm happy to pay $20 rather than drove half an hour in the wrong direction to Pakenham.

And it's not shown on the website but the bolts do have about about a 20mm shank that is not threaded.
Not sure if it matters

Depends on what the bolt is going through, buy usually there is a reason why they use fully threaded bolt over bolts with a shank

This is them.

Anyway here's the stuff I bought... Forgot I also got a new motor input bearing to go in the top hat too

Oww nice! !. Fairlead looks good. Yeah the idea of the shank is to not bugger the housing or thread where they go through in theory. Mines just got normal bolts but it is a slight pain in the butt. . . Need to jam a screwdriver in to stop the nut turning!!

Good question. They are few and far between. I find the biggest issue is getting the bloke behind the counter to put some effort in if they dont have what you ask for.

Come to toowoomba and go to porters. Only decent one anywhere.

FINALLY got the winch back from welding! They did a good job and was cheap in the end but would have liked it sooner anyway...
So I can get around to cleaning it up and ready for painting next week now.

How close was your winch to the grille on your millweld pre brace kit plates?

Still enough room with out chopping?

I honestly did not look Andy, I've still got the Ironman winch on my bar.

sorry to create paranoia...lol
Should be fine mate it's just the top brace on mine was only 8mm from my ic which sits 30mm past the grille and as you saw my grille has been cut to suit.

Can't remember exact measurements but your millweld had a fair bit extra clearance then ARB so fingers crossed!
14th August 2015, 08:57 PM

Yeah look I've really only added another 10-15mm to the overall depth of the winch. Worst case is we will just do a snippy snip but hopefully we won't need to =]

Hey winnie. Whats the model of your winch? I bumped into a bloke today, we were just gas bagging about 4wds and the conversion got onto winches and he said he's got a 8274? Hi mount. he said he would sell me cheap as it needs a rebuild. We haven't talked price or i havent even seen it. I know zero about them. Not really the best time to be spending more money too. My bar cant even take a hi mount, i got his number though...

Cheers.
