Ran it on 12mm sheet line and you could reeve it for speed or power, providing the drives arent dead I might even still have the plans for it..

Mmmmm sounds gooood.
I had a look at the new technology in poly ropes at the Winch challenge at Shady Creek a few weeks back.
Amazing how rope technology has changed.
I remember being happy with the upgrade from IFRC to IWRC on the Twinboom...
A Poly rope on a Capstan would be great, no heat worries.
