Bobtail-Jay Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Hi all Whats the best ali fairlead about? Can cheapy ones effect the rope? Jay. Quote
BogMonster Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Stainless is the best "alloy" fairlead I guess aluminium ones are all much of a muchness - I use a Goodwinch one on my Milemarker - and apparently can wear away with grit in the rope, though that isn't a problem I have had. Depending on which winch you have the choice can be restricted - most of the ones on offer don't fit the Milemarker for example. Quote

(just curious as i need a couple for my milemarkers)G The MM H12 needs a fairlead with offset holes as the mounting holes are below the cable line - most fairleads you see advertised seem to have the holes at the end of the fairlead slot. I guess you could use the normal type but there could be a lot of strain on the fairlead and rope/fairlead wear could be an issue especially when most of the rope is off the drum. See here http://www.dborc.co.uk/goodwinch/4x4%20fairleads.htm for the different types from Bowyer, the MM one is the one with the offset holes. Quote
