I need one that is suitable for Plasma Cheers Tony Tony if you can wait until Jan I can get you one for then, maybe before but no gurantee. Alternatively, if enough people are interested, we could get a bulk order together, and have it shipped. Shipping costs wouldn't be that bad on surface. Again you'd need to be able to wait 3-4wks. It's best to call him rather than e-mail, He's +8 hours, calling about now was always good for me. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthdicky Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Tony, what is different about that design which stops the rope being pulled between the casing and the wheel part, as happened last time Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 the excess slack in the Superwinch one, the groove is deeper in the Masterpull one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white90 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 No Paul W managed to free it. it was being used and the rope rode out of the groove and down the side of the pully between one of the swingaway sides jamming itself good and proper! I had to cut the plasma with a piece of flint to free Nicks rangie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
