I am in Gippsland....... what is heat? It is spray painted.
Won't be using a canvas cover.
To be honest I don't even know if this winch works yet... haven't wired it up.

I feel if there is enough heat there to affect the paint you need a fire extinguisher lol
I think he may have been on about the heat generated while grinding the bar...... but I could be wrong lolQuote:

So how was the grille cutting fitting etc bwahahahaha
did he use a plasma cutter , even a grinder will bubble paint.
doesnt worry me one way or the other its your bar lol
Oh.... he used an oxy. Powdercoat on the bar is not the best now that it's 3-4 years old anyway.
Where it was cut has been primed and painted over.
Anybody going to tell me if my wiring diagram will work now?
so why are you spamming his whinch thread with talk of bubbled paint on his bar !!!!!! lmaoQuote:

Anyway, there are two switch spots conveniently left over =)

If you got it working though your done mate. all good.
Yep all good and working but didn't have anywhere to put the LED so I've left it out for now... I'll make up some sort of bracket
well worth the wait I take it, now to get out on some tracks
Kept forgetting about this... Bloody free spool is not working? The knob pulls out but I cannot pull the rope out.
Any ideas?
have you tried manually rotating the drum back and forward whilst out first?Quote:

I noticed mine did that a while back and I had to jiggle the release handle a bit and it popped out another mm or two which released it fully.
Had me stumped as well.
Ie; pull handle out and wiggle left and right whilst pulling.
Hopefully mr winch man can shed more light mate.
I hope it's as easy as that, I'd really rather not have to pull it out of the bar again... lol
They are a bugger of a thing. You will find that it is likely the brake shaft cam lock has stayed slightly compressed meaning it is engaged. Even after a full rebuild I have had this problem quickly.
So the easy fix is NEVER Use the free spool...... Winch out will winch out nearly as fast as you need the line.
One of the reasons an air freespool is a winner too. Also when running 24v through a 12v motor they don't like reverse so the air freespool with 24v is perfect as winch out sux.
Obviously I would rather have the free spool though... hmm what a bugger.
Yeah you'd think for sure. Truth is though mate when your using the winch in anger the navi would use the free spool to pull the rope out and hook it up then would have to run back and engage the free spool again. Reality is you will winch out every time, they hook you up, winch on and out you go.Quote:

Pin it and forget it. The navi controls at the headlight help with this too.
So I finally got to put the winch to the test! Farrrrk these things are awesome!!
Yes, that is two 80 series =]

They thought that the snatch would work but the second car got stuck while snatching, and the snatch was under tension so couldn't take it off and I didn't have enough rope to get to the first car... lol fun times though!
Sweet So it pulled both out Yeah? . . . Did you catch any fish? ?
Yep sure did =) had to strap my car to another car though because it was just pulling me into them.Quote:

But did you go through it Winnie unassisted to prove the point? ;)
Twice... Though i must tell the truth, I was the first to go through and had to use one of the cruisers as a winch point to get out...Quote:
