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.
Quick question for the hi mount gurus, thought id chuck it up here. . . Going to tap drain & filler plugs in mine but was thinking of putting the filler on the side of the cover just to be different and prefer the look a little. Was wondering however if this would cause any issues with strength of the housing at all. Not sure what forces are going on in that area, don't want to compromise it and find out in the wilderness?
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?
You can fit your filler to the side if you like. Plenty of room. You would have to use a syringe to fill it though? Do it to the front quarter of the casing. Alternatively you could drill and tap big enough for a filler on the side then instead of a plug bolt use a male/female reducer and fit a pnuematic fitting and your breather in the same hole.
