does anyone know the exact weight saving of plasma V Wire??

100ft 3/8 inc hook from my Ironman - 13.5KG
100ft 5/16 plasma with safety thimble - about 2.5kg

10KG doesn't sound that much, but try it under tension over a 50ft length, it all changes.

thanks for figures, I didnt think it was 20kgs!
Im more interested in static weight, for daily driver, which I think zook driver was talkin bout too. not while its out.

hi guys just got an email back from winchline, they will do the lines with free postage and a free billet hawze fairlead if we have 10 or more people in the group buy so now i would like a list posted with what you want so i can foward the info to them!

Ill start the list.

1. Cookimonsta - orange trail line 3/8" 125ft std protector and yellow excel hook

forgot to add, with the current conversion rates the line is around 355 for what i have listed above

So whats the best line thickness and length for a low mount tugging stuck zooks up cliffs?

100ft is the standard length on most winches. This is a fair bit. You can often fit 125ft by going to a smaller line size, BUT the outer wraps have less pull.

On my 9500 I am using 5/16 100ft and have a seperate 100ft 3/8 extension. The 5/16 is rated at 13700lb and the 3/8 at 19600lb. That means I can use a block (pulley) on the extension - 2 x 9500 = 19000lb. Nice flexible solution that doesn't fill the drum.

so how much would you fit on a standard hi mount drum?
also what rating is that line? will that exceed the rating of my steel cable?

Welchy

Steel 5/16 - 9600lb
Steel 3/8 - 14400lb

That's for galvanised 7x19 as per http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavist ... index.html

Is there a dead line you need people by?

well the sooner the better, i still need to sort out a way around taxes even if it means seperate orders that still come from me, other wise there will be an extra $500 or so tax on the order

how ever i am thinking of putting it off till say jan 14, but i dont know if our dollar will be this strong which is what is making this deal so damn sweet

Welchy

the rating is 19000lb and you should easily fit 100' of 3/8"

bump, hey guys i wont be putting this order through untill mid jan unless you guys have enough intrest in the next week or so to get the rope before chrissy, how ever i do need names, sizes etc so i can get it off to winchline

I just brought a highmount back from the us in my suitcase. I pulld the cable off and left it there along with the fairlead. At least 15kg of cable.

Hi,

Any movement on this issue?

i think the movement ended in the S bend

I bought 125' of 3/8th line from OKoffroad for just under $400 AUD last week. They were cheaper than winchline by about $40 US.

Shoulda done it when the dollar was stronger but oh well.
