and if u have rope u have the plain cut out one?

yes

It depends what the fairlead is made out of. You can use a steel Hause (cut out) fairlead for either and you can also use a roller fairlead for rope. It depends on your needs. You wouldn't use an alloy fairlead for cable though. Most people use a hause fairlead because they don't stick out as far and you don't have to do anything as far as maintenance.

cos my new toy as cable but no rollers, dose that course damage to cable

If you run a hause fairlead it creates a weak point regardless of whether it is a cable or rope. If you pull something over a fixed point it causes friction that can cause a failure in some instances. Having said this it doesn't happen very often and it can't be a bad thing if you see most people using a hause fairlead instead of roller fairleads in comps where it counts the most.

cool thats what i thought, but wanted 2nd opinon
