ciderman Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Ha Ha Bluddy ha , Its not a mod its an in the field repair , Brand new 8274 and twice now the circlip has popped and they were fitted the right way round . What appened waz , The rear winch spat its dummy out on sat on the CSW 2 dayer , so we impovised . Found all the brake bits on the ground in a bog minus 3 bearings and 1 drive key , We carried on regardless using the front winch around the front wings and back along the sides to do any rear pulls . Completed the event at 2.30 and then back to the van for repairs , We had a spare cirlip, balls and a drive key so we rebuilt it , But for that extra bit of assurance we found some nice thick washers that were a force fit over the end of the shaft and made a (temporary) weld with a petrol arc welder . And it worked a treat . So I think after a grind off and bigger brakes fitted to the winch , another washer will be Migged into place to hold it all together . BTW my welding is better than this but the petrol in the welder had evaporated leaving a strong oil mix which caused it to smoke and splutter , ( Two stroke welder if you havent already worked it out ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honitonhobbit Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Quality mate, sheer quality Should have popped down to ChezHobbit and I would have fixed it for you or at least lent you a nice welder... I had an 8274 in bits this morning (belongs to a local hunt) could have done a quick swap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
