Hybrid_From_Hell Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I am about to do a further article for the club mag I produce. The article is around what mods you can do to an 8274, I have already spoke to Gigglepin and Jim says I can use pics etc, and I have Tony Cs modded 8274 big motor support bracket, plasma and hawse etc... But was wondering Have you a 8274, how and whre is it mounted ? , what mods have you done ? ............... and please will you post up here and give me text and pics I can use. Whilst this is for a club mag, and I hope nobody will have the hump at me for using LR4x4.com for the info, it may prove to be a very interesting thread for the Tech Archive ! Post up ! Nige PS Paul W expect a visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Stripped ready for rebuild... Gwyn Lewis style circlip retaining mod as per his website... Freespool drilled to take an R-clip to lock it in... Not exactly a mod to the winch itself but this shows the Gwyn Lewis drum guard in place... All ready to play... Sheet of rubber mat to keep the sun/muck off the rope when not in use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Brilliant idea, will have to see if I can make something similar for the MM, seeing as I live under the ozone hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Brilliant idea, will have to see if I can make something similar for the MM, seeing as I live under the ozone hole Is the rope particularly affected by UV?

ciderman Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Got to say the best mod to my 8274 is the XP motor and the gigglepin brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonPearson Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 How to improve an 8274? First off, upgrade the motor to something more capable, split pin the freespool, widen the drum, put a better brake on it because when the clutch goes you don't want to be hanging on the end of it, throw away the solenoids and fit Albrights, somehow fix the naff intermediate shaft sliding out issues you always get under extreme conditions, oh, then fit a 2nd motor, throw away both of th emotors now and with twin 24V, then find a way of redesigning the needle roller bearings the gears roll on - oh and the gears themselves since we've destroyed some of those too.. oh.. and er, well.. what's next? Doesn't seem to be much '8274' left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
