    Winch Cable Guide ??

    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.

    They are about $80 or so bucks from warn - but I got mine with the bar I bought.

    Ring Ateco Equipment (Aus importers of Warn)
