honitonhobbit Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Tony, Did you have any luck in your search for a Plasma friendly pulley block? If not have you looked at this: http://www.4x4wire.com/reviews/eoprecov/Dcp02020.jpg They are just what the Doctor ordered - I have one here if you would like a look next week. This is a better piccie: http://www.beaver.com.au/images/Products/4...125B-_large.jpg note the grease nipple. There is an R clip on the reverse side so the whole unit can be field stripped and zero play in the two halves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Thanks for that David. Steve is sending me one of the stainless steel roller bearing ones. I'm just waiting to give that a try. the Black Rat one looks like the ARB one very similar design. are there any specs for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 "The Black Rat 4WD off-road block has heavy duty one piece steel side covers for ease of use and have a gold passivated finish. The sheave is made from high grade cast Iron with a precision machined groove to accept 11mm wire rope with a pressure grease lubricated bearing. Minimum breaking strain 8,000kgs." I can e-mail you over some piccies later or bring it with me on the 29th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Not wishing to be unduly pedantic but I hope they mean SWL 8000kg not breaking strain, or you're going to be on pretty thin ice with an 8-9000lb winch never mind anything bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) This is the "Thing" I use 99% of the time now, massively strong, swivelly hook thingy, greasable and about £80 from : www.redpage.co.uk Nige Edited December 24, 2005 by Hybrid_From_Hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the R clips are a PITA to deal with when you've got cold fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Nige you must have to be in really deep s&&t to have to use a snatch block with that winch of yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Steve But I do, either for directional changes etc, or for extensions etc.... Jon W always grumbles about how heavy it is ! Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What problem? Happy Crimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
