+ve air pressure winch
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 6:44 am
Searched, didn't find too much.
Sorting out a lowmount warn, and thinking about running some air into it. Got an airline at the front bar already, and was thinking about tee-ing off it and running to a regulator to drop back to 2-3psi and leak that into the winch... From the search I noticed comments about a water trap to keep moisture out, which I hadn't thought of.
Have others done it? Is it worth doing? What regulator did you use, and do they have them with water traps in them? Any threads, pics or experiences welcome. 50/50 to wonder if its worth the effort - its a tourer/daily, so it would only really be pressurized when the compressor has charged the tank (basically on trips). Seems like a bit of dicking around for something that may not really be of that much benefit, but whilst its all apart it might be a good time to do it...
Thanks,
