winch wire
I'm hoping to get my winch fitted in the next couple of days. It's 2nd hand with a wire rope and I'm wondering what the best way to wind it on/layer it is?
It's pretty tidy anyway but I'm sure I'll want to play

I wasn't thinking of mounting it on top of the bumper. It was always going behind. It just depended whether it was set through/into/behind the box section. Oliver's is mounted through using a (very nice) Devon 4x4 tray. Looks like my question is irrelevant anyway as, having just measured and looked ...

I saw your bumper in the IOM. Looks good and the devon tray looked ace. However... I'm being tight and trying to do this as cheaply as possible. Phil gave me a tray that I think I can use and I was initially intending on cutting out the back and top of the box and welding it in. That way I'd retain ...

Looking at modifying my bumper to take a winch (when I eventually manage to find one). It's made from box section. Can I just cut a slot through both sides for the rope and fit the winch behind (on a suitable plate) or do I need to cut out the back of the box so that the rope just passes through one...

track rod ends/hd steering arms
It looks like I need to replace the track rod end on my track rod. The rod is also slightly bent (although that's not really given any problems) and I've been thinking about replacing both with HD steering rods. Given that a new rod end seems to be about a tenner and HD rods look more like 100 quid ...

Got this one sorted now. It involved un-soldering the connections to the stator so I could get it apart and then re-soldering them. Took a fair bit of heating the casing and tapping it to get the stator out though. Don't fancy trying that again on an old one, but you can get new ones for about £80 ...

The problem is that it doesn't seem to be bolts that hold the 2 halves together but studs that fit into the front half and have nuts where the bits join. Also the stator is not moving in the front half and is wired through the back half. Guess I need to get the stator moving somehow. Luckily the cas...

disco 90amp alternator
I've got one of these to fit to the 90 but I need to separate the two halves of the case and rotate one by 120deg to get the tensioner lug in the right place. I had thought that if I removed the pulley and undid the bolts, I could pull the front casing off but it doesn't seem to want to come. The st...

If I upgrade the alternator from the 45amp one on there at present to a 100amp one, do I need to upgrade the alternator to battery wiring too, or should it handle the extra current? If I need to upgrade, what sort of size cable am I looking at? Is there any benefit in using welding cable over batter...
