    Capstan winch

    I have a Fairey capstan winch in the shed, and I'm contemplating fitting it to my SIII. It's a 4000lb winch and was, I believe, originally fitted to a Range Rover. Obviously I need to acquire or fabricate a dog, crankshaft nut, sprung driveshaft support and mounting plate that fit the SIII, but I'm not sure if there is anything else that is needed. I believe the winch itself is the same, which really only leaves the driveshaft. Does anyone know if there are more than one style/length of driveshaft for the Fairey?

    What is the winch number?
    I have one that is currently attached to a RRC chassis.

    Too dark to go to the shed now, but the "Serial Number" stamped on the Fairey plate is something like RR1.9 which I remember because it didn't look like a serial number....

    Do a search on ebay, there is a few sellers of the drive bits. If the prices are too scary, at least the pics give you an idea how to fabricate them

    I spoke to one of the guys on eBay who sells the mounting plates, and he said that the driveshaft _might_ be a different length on the Range rover version, but he wasn't 100% certain.

    I'd like to find out for certain before I invest time or money in buying/making the other bits! So what I really need is a measurement for a "Series" Fairey capstan winch driveshaft length, either end to end or from some easily recognisable points...

    I have a Capstan Winch (not sure of name) which came off my series 3 75 Diesel. Its in bits and I'm not entirely sure where all the bits are - but if you get stuck, give me a shout and I'll try find it all and lay it out and take pics for you.
    cheers,
