Yeah I've got the Millweld, no extra holes for me. I just saw the price for the +76mm stainless fairlead on the 4WDshed website and if that's the price range then I am not interested and will be happy with an alloy one... lol
I finally found the bloody brake pawl cap that I was missing at my local ARB, $15 as a brand new warn spare part, even in a Warn bag.
A big washer would have worked too but I like genuine
Yeah the Stainless are bloody expensive mate. Look trick though.
here is the standard width one from Biders

I need offset though Darren... but yeah maybe I will get one of those at a later date. I will be fine with alloy for now.
Don't mind the look of a good aluminium one at all. Looks like Roadrunner have a nice looking polished one, pretty reasonable too. . .
Yep, I didn't get a chance to go there today but I'll check out what they have when I go there.Quote:

The Gigglepin clutch assembly has an oil filler plug in that... I have read of people putting the filler plug in the side of the housing, I'd rather put it on the side too.

Does anybody have photos of their drain plugs?
Went around to Roadrunner this arvo and got a great deal on the 40m of rope, alloy fairlead, hook and mounting bolts.
Need to ring Clint on Monday and tell him I want my winch back soon... he's had it for 3 weeks now and has not touched it.
new bolts and nuts or just bolts to suit existing square highmount bolts?Quote:
