dirtyninety Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Right, Im looking for the thread/size of the bolt that holds the brake pawl onto an 8274. Also, where would i source a new spring from? mine isnt as "springy" as it should be, being a 20+ year old winch! Thankyou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyninety Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Scrap that, the bolt is 1/4-20 x 1/2 just in case somebody else searches, Still would like to find a source of springs tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 You can get the springs from Gigglepin - they are pricey though, around £25 IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19MART82 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 chris i thought my spring was knackered but i stripped the brake pawl down,cleaned & degreasead it all and fitted back together with some fresh grease and it works like new now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyninety Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 You can get the springs from Gigglepin - they are pricey though, around £25 IIRC I realise gigglepin do the springs, im looking for a cheaper alternative, surely gigglepin cannot be the only suppliers of this spring? Thanks mart, up on further tinkering ive managed to 'wind up' the spring and have it operational now. still waiting for some bolts and to make a washer for my other 8274!
