Our winch was designed and
built in 1982 by foundation club members. Apart from different sized
drum and reconditioned engine/gearboxes and lexan safety screens it
is unchanged.
In 2000 we changed from 3.2mm wire to 10mm poly rope and this required a
new drum and lead in gear. In 2002 we purchased a second hand engine
and gearbox and had them rebuilt by Muscle Ford and fitted by club
members, the old engine and gearbox being a back-up / spare.
