Winnie's Warn hi mount rebuild

Hey Winnie I use Hammertone Charcoal for my cases and reckon they look as good or better than brand new mate.

Yeah your freespool was a bit of a bugger... gonna get a new assembly for it? I thought I had a spare but they are both broken far beyond repair!

Yeah fair enough no point rushing it'll be worth it when is done!!
I've got a new clutch, should have got one ages ago. Oh well better late then never!! Pretty sure that is where there was water ingress. . .

Tax just came through... Woohoo! Time to make up a shopping list and go to road runner when I get a chance. Need rope, hook, fairlead, switches etc...

It is suggested to use this one

And it is obvious to see that the solid disc would have better braking abilities, but a lot of people use the first one with the standard Warn brake pads without any issues at all, so I will use what I have.

Wouldn't the top brake rachet hold less heat ?
holes lighten and add strength

Yes I thnk it would hold less heat John. The gurus say though that the Gigglepin upgrade provides a wider brake pad combined with no hole to have maximum contact patch equals bigger brakes. Mathematically correct. I was more concerned to hear if anyone had a brake pad collapse due to the leading edges of the holes? Clearly not which is what I expected. Winner. AB's winch is the same as is Liftlid and Rossco.

Yeah that's all I was worried about too Darren.
I have had my own car hanging off of Liftlid's and also Rossco's winch before too so I have no issue with using what I have, winner.
Looks to me like the new type of friction material covers more surface area than the old puck style anyway.

I'm gonna try and get to Roadrunner this arvo to grab some more goodies.

you should give Phil a call at the 4WD Shed mate, he will sell you everything you need. If you want a Stainless Steel fairlead then Biders in Cranbourne is where to go.

Roadrunner is too easy for me though mate, 10 mins up the road and they do look after me, the amount of stock they carry is beyond ridiculous.

What sort of dollars are those stainless fairleads? I need an offset fairlead.

do you have an extra set of holes for the top mounts on bar?

I don't have an offset fairlead on mine and drilled two extra holes on the bottom mount as I had two sets on top so used the higher ones.

The fairlead covers the hole perfect!
