Winch Rip off.

Guess the price?
Its a bolt for a capstan drive dog (V8).

£18.00 yes that eighteen pounds ea

You'll never believe this one.
Capstan drive UJ

£90
For what i don't know, it look no more complex than a socket set UJ.

they know they are the only peeps that have stocks of spares for the od and some of the older winches - and it looks like that's reflected in their pricing structure

clivees · Jan 25, 2008

I know but £18 for a bolt i can get from any good small engineering company or even screw-fix probably.

Sean · Jan 25, 2008

it might look like any old bolt, but it'll be a special bolt delivered by a 6 foot blonde who will cater fer yer every need (well £17.50s worth)

Ere, i think you should be fair and show them in context to give a fair reflection...

Not a disco steering UJ do it

clivees · Jan 26, 2008

I have hit on a brilliant plan for the £90 UJ.
I'm going to use a Halfords professional socket set JU.
Halfords Professional Universal Joint 3/8" from Halfords Price £4.49
It comes with a lifetime guarantee and cost £4.49 and I'm sure I can make it work

go for the 1/2 inch one, it'll be stronger

Good idea
If it works i may go in to production as they are a bit in short supply.

And driving the winch it will last a couple of minutes at least.
