Front Winch Fun
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009As I mentioned at the end of the last update, I’ve purchased a DIY 8274 holder from Devon 4×4. It looks like this.
The winch holder.
However, because nothing is ever easy, it needs modifying as my winch is wider than standard (so I can get more rope on it), and it won’t fit on the milling machine.
Anyway, we drilled some holes in the chassis and dropped some tube through to hold the bolts, as the chassis is perhaps a little thin on its own.
Here it is in place. I perhaps need to come up with a more secure mounting system.
That’s about all that’s been done recently (and I’m not going to do any more until the end of August). Someone pointed out that there’s no pictures of the back of the car since the finishing strips were added, so here is one for you.
The rear, with finishing strips added.
And here’s a photo to prove it actually moves!
Splash!
Bloody thing still hates water, though.
Bugger.
