For Pickuprover, do your best mate, some good info coming in, but until solved all new notions wanted, cheers.

For Pickuprover, had a mail response from the company in Oregon U.S. they can do but estimate $3000 as cost, great idea but i'm not THAT keen, mind you i now have a picture of what they make and maybe........ For Richyborofanrich, thanks for tha lead, gonna go take a look, will let you know...

Thanks Pickuprover, have mailed em to see what they might have that suits, winch is electric so fingers crossed.

just an update on the "Spooler" search, well so far no good, but now going along the lines of a heavy worm gear from a crane steering box, it has nicely rounded of edges and is plenty deep in the grooves, using two fitted in opposition in an under and over set-up with a cable tripped flip over...

no wife now, got Discoveries instead, some costs but do as they're told and no back chat. Still working the spooler idea and making some headway on an own design, long way to go tho !, so please keep those grey cells ticking, all idea's and info needed.
