Early giggle pin, 2 motor prototype.

Their current twin motor product has a new cast top housing, with stonger gearing and better bearings, as well as the 2 motor mounting flanges. Also if I remember correctly another gear ratio may be available.

They also have larger capacity drums and drum free spool options.

If you want more info, contact Jim Marsden at giggle pin, or Wayne Smith is their Australian importer.

Not really without finding the specs again or going up the shed an measuring the thing the drum width is reduced by about 15% and length is increased by about 250mm fits nice between the rails on a clasic rangie few mods to the bar and away you go...

if you dont mind me asking where do you get your cable from @ 8-9 bucks a meter....

thanks got em in me favs.

You can fit it but if you do any winching at angle it bunches at the sides and without brace bars at the back the cable wraps around the housing.

You just end up with a giant birds nest
