Hey guys, i'm fitting a winch to my disco in a week or so and wanted to know if i can get a fairled plate (not roller) for steel cable, like what they use for plasma/dynamica rope ?

Why would you?! Most fairly leads are aluminium and will just get scratched up and damaged. Stick with a roller unless your going for winch rope.

Yeh you can - I own one.
Mine is the Warn brand - and is designed for cable.
It is cast iron - not alloy
Cheers.
