    Where did you get it from?
    what was it meant to be and how much was it?
    How did you cut it?

    Thanks,

    Bumpin this for Brando 4X4

    On a side note.......... for a Tojo driver Danny sure does a lot of work on the Nissan, must mean only one thing....he knows the Tojo won't make it so leaves it at home *L*

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    A torn air line isn't quite the same as a complete cv AND the opposite axle. Thought these Nissan front ends are supposed to be tough.

    We are all bloody limping now! Lol

    I think the group is up to 10 beads off. A Uni, 2 winches, an axle, a CV, a winch rope, a few panels. Damn!

    Sorry Brando I did not see your post before mate.

    It is made from Nylon and I bought it from a plastic place (resiplex) then drilled it in the drill press with a spade core bit then a jig saw will get it done. I then used a bench router to put a radius on all the edges. Easy if you have the right gear.

    The Nylon was not real cheap though to be honest and I probably on saved $50 over buying an alloy hawse fairlead which are an off the shelf item.
