I am still not full convinced that a form of hand throttle can not be added to the flyby wire 3l Y61's
it would be a DIYS... Its a small matter of trying to link into the accelerator pedal some how.

ET should be able to give you a nice write up on how a compound 4:1 MA system goes but here are some pics of systems.

Well the 12000lb winch has gone back to Supercheap Auto.:eek:

Why? All simple it would not free spool easily. To get the rope off the drum under free spool it was a huge pull and very slow. Even...

True ET but few don't even know how to do a 4:1 compound system. Many even don't carry enough gear to do a 3:1 pull.

I don't have time to F about with flea bay.
I will look at saving some of the wire rope as 75% of its length is still OK.
The section near the drum was totally stuffed. Considering what occurred...

OK...

Since to only rope here at home is Nobles I went there for the ropes.

The 8mm synthetic that I looked at is called Supermax. The 8mm had a breaking load of 6.7 t and breaking force of...

A bit more as the fun progresses.


The 9500 lb winch was a Ridge Ryder one. I have had it for about 4+ years.
I had over time been considering replacing it with a 12000 lb winch but the prices...

The old winch had/has a...
