Cheers mate i thought it should have some on there. Ive got a set there that ill put in. Thanks very much for the info.

Also can any one tell me if there is ment to be a spacer on the axel between the cv and housing on a maxi drive axel ? I see in the work shop manual it shows one and in this old standard Diff i have laying around it has one. I'm wondering if there should be one to stop the axel going all the way ...

Cheers for the info uninformed,very helpfull. Yes my future plans are patrol front and 80 rear as the vehicle is my winch challenge truck. Just seems a shame to have to pull them out and start all over again with lockers and bracing and rims etc. oh well least it will be better in the long run. Any ...

Hi all. I need some schooling on cv joints in my rangie. it has a maxi drive locka in the front with maxi drive axels to the cv. the cv is 23 spline in (i think) and 10 spline out to the stubs. is this a after market cv or a standard unit ? is having the 10 spline stubs the weak link so that it dont ...

I'll see if I can find it again.

Cheers for the info everyone. After Many hours of serching I found a write up using the realay idea. I haven't got around to doing it yet but hopefully it works out ok.

Hi im after some info or even a wiring digram on how to hook up a 24v alternator on my comp truck. i know how to wire the batterys but not sure about the rest of the wiring. does it need a turn on wire ? any help would be great.

cheers steve.

thanks for the diagram. im most likely only going to use 2 batterys. just wondering how are you triggering your alternator to start charging ? i was going to run a wire from the batterys,through a switch in the cab and then to the alternator and just turn it on when the engine is running. think this ...

i would also be keen to see a diagram as im about to do it to my comp truck.

Nilly got it back on its wheels.

Not very often although I haven't really had a chance to give it a good run due to finishing of the build up. Just have to wait and see what it does I spose then pull the heads and see what I'm dealing with.

hi mate. yeah the water goes away as soon as the engine has started and warms the exhauste and yes its only black coloured,no green coolant. the motor starts up fine and does not miss or run ruff. if you let it sit for 20min and start it you will sometimes get a little bit come out again but not as ...

Hi guys I've got a 4.6l in my winch truck and just lately I've noticed when started from cold it blows a good amount of water from the exhauste on to the ground and it also does it some times when hot if you let it sit for a while then start it. My first thought was head gasket but it has no oil in ...

Cheers mate I'll give it a try. Nice write up and pics on your build up thread to mate.

Hey mate just wondering how you drilled yours. Ive had mine in the lathe and used numerous types of drill bits and cant make a dint in mine just keeps takeing the edge of the bits.
Cheers steve.

So what sort of isolator do the comp guys use on there winch system ? I've herd a few people don't use them.

Hi guys. I'm Looking at getting some rope for my high mount for comp work, it has a standard length drum but with a smaller centre pipe and is pulling a uted range rover. Just wondering what brand are people using, what size and length and were is the best place to get it from ?

Cheers ifslux.

Cheers for all the info guys, that got me on the right track and I have it all sorted now.

So are you putting the isolator into the positive lead ? I've already got it wired into my earth lead.

Yeah I know but I was hoping to do some of the wtc comps and that nav comp at manar park, but the mine has changed my roster and I won't be home for them so low mead is the only one I can do. It will be my first comp so I'm pritty green to it all. I've got a rangie cut into a ute the same as Paul ...

All makes sense now. Thanks heaps mate.

Oh righto I get ya. I found a hella brand isolator on eBay that has the large and small terminals,so I will have to track one of these down. Thanks for all your help. Hopefully I get it sorted for low mead 3 car. Just gotta get crazy to build my winch for me.

Sorry for all the questions. So with the ignition feed ( mines a petrol ) do I put the switch on the power feed or to a earth feed ? And the isolator I got has the two large poles only. Do I use it or do I need another switch.

Oh ok then. I'll have to go see what I can find. Hey with the isolator for the rest of the car to comply with comp rules is it ment to shut the car down when it is turned off or just prevent it from being started ? I just put mine in and it don't turn it off when it's running, is there something I ...

Yeah the welding shop did it. Looks pritty good. With the isolotor do you put it in the neg cable and what sort and size isolator do you use ? I can get hold of 24v ones used on trucks.

Crimping was free haha.

23 bucks a meter for the 95 mm and 19 bucks for the 70mm and 3bucks a crimp end.

Cheers for the help. Ive been to the welding shop and found the cable. Now just gota put it in.

Thanks ifslux.

Hi all. Just wanting to know what size and sort of power cable to get to run a twin motor 24v comp winch? Do you use battery cable or welding cable? Any info would be really helpfull.

Cheers ifslux.

Just wanting to know do the winch trucks need to run a tail shaft loop ?
Cheers steve.
