Dural Aldi was where I got my two, you just need to know which branch has the area manager on staff as thats the branch that gets the leftovers from other stores ;)
'Cept the area manager that was at Dural moved to another store where my mate happened to be working...

lolz, dural is where im living now :)

Well if you miss out on an Aldi. I found this 12,000lb one for $100 more.

Online Electric Winch - 12000lb (5440kg) Discounts | Electric Winch - 12000lb (5440kg) | Online @ Deals Direct.com.au

Cant vouch for it, just passing on what I found.

im not too worried, aldi dont necessarily have that amazingly cheap prices, but having a shop front is an advantage.

I was reading this article on winches and noticed it says you have to mark the location of the housing to ensure the correct alignment on reassembly:

I take it the housing on the ALDI winch can be rotated and put back in a different position, depending on which way up you mount the winch and where you want the clutch lever to sit?

correct

I think this answers my question. Can you rotate it to 4 different positions?

Thanks Dave, I didn't see your reply before my last post.
