Which fairlead for steel winch rope

Post by pongo »

I currently have a Roller setup but was thinking about the Hawse style

Should i just run the roller type or is it worth the time to find a HAWSE style

Car is a MK patrol thats about to get a custom bar.

Cheers

I run a Hawsw style made of Delrin and like it ! Lightweight, less than 500gr, and saves me about 10cm in front end length for better approach angle.

G'day, you would probably be better off using the roller fairlead for steel rope as an aluminium hawse lead will be worn away by the steel rope being drawn through it. Hawse Fairleads are better suited to Dynamica or plasma rope.

That's why I run Delrin instead of Al., no wear and tear with steel rope.
