I do now have a nice shiny aluminium fairlead, mainly as I wanted to figure out the height to mount the numberplate at and it does finish the bumper off neatly. Next stop on the winch trail would be a plasma rope, remote, decent solenoid and then the winch itself but there are other things well ahead of that including a second battery to run my gadgets.
However, if I see the fabled "8274 in need of rebuild, £50" I'll probably bite the seller's hand off! :lol:
