The brace kit is worth it. There is a kit on eBay for $100 and you will need to find somebody to weld it.
Have a read through this thread Mark...

A couple of pics of my winch from the weekend. Tops off so thought of this thread.
Here is a couple of pics of the Gigglepin (GP) brake shaft difference. It's far more than just a drilled and tapped shaft.

The shaft also locks up the second Gear. The main gear is on the drum so the second gear is on the brake shaft.
There is a packer that goes between the casing and the gear the the shaft has a rebate for circlip.

There is zero play of the second gear on the shaft. Very cool.
Also I have drilled and bolted the retaining plate to the case. I have had this plate fail on me once so this mod was a no brainer.

Also VERY IMPORTANT. If you have rebuilt a Himount you will have a cardboard pack used to insert the oil seal. You should keep this in your spares kit and carry it. Essential if you have to strip your winch on the tracks!! I might have stripped mine n the bush a couple of times.!!

Cheers Daz, awesome info mate, really appreciated as I'm sure all will too:-) Touched base with Phil again yesterday morning and there's a slight delay on the Iskra motors arrival. Good news is he has a GP brake shaft waiting on the shelf for us also, rebuild dollars are climbing but worth it by the sounds of it !!
