Plasma is the brand name used by Ruftracks so they are the best people to speak to.

David Bowyer sells it as Dyneema, Discoparts as Diamond Winch Rope and there are plenty of others.

You can also find it on Ebay from time to time.  :wink:

As to who is cheapest, you've just got to shop around and you'll find they are pritty much all within a pound or so of each other.

You're right Mike (as always !), I mailed Andy last night about the possibilities of using Plasma on my hydraulic winch, and he's right on the ball - trouble is, we think I need 150' - 170' of the stuff  :shock:

BTW - can you use standard snatch blocks with Plasma ?

Yes, but you need to be careful it doesn't get trapped between the pulley and the frame.

I was quoted £270 for 100 metres of the stuff a couple of weeks ago.  Its spooled so you'll need to fit your own hook and securing eye.

£270 will get you 100' of rigged 14mm, according to their website.  :wink:

Ruftracks normally supply the Plasma Rope rigged with an eye & hook on one end and small securing eye on the other, plus you get a protective sleeve. They will sell it off the spool as well if you want to rig it yourself.  :wink:

You get what you pay for.
I know Plasma is expensive but I wouldn't go back to wire rope again.
If you want to save a bit on the cost why not wait for a show and get it there, that's what I did.  :wink:

Oh yes. Had a chat with Andy yesterday - nice bloke. His final words to me were "decide how much (plasma) you want, and we'll have a talk about the price"  :D

Just a thought
 But have you considered winch web from lifting and crane, length i just put on was £45 inc vat from  http://www.gearedtogo.co.uk/ has same properties as plasma, light-safe-easy to handle- swivel hook on as well for that price
 only thing is i'm not sure if it floats
