Just putting this out there.  My contact came back to me.  Blamed spam filters etc....

385m (1280 ft) of grey Dynaone 9t BL would be £1706.70 excluding freight and VAT.

That makes it approx £1.33/ft so not a million miles from Will's quote.

Cheers.

Thanks for getting the info chaps.
I found out my current winch will apparently melt synthetic line on power out due to heat generated by the brake ...
I'm going to put my money into a replacement winch now, so count me out of any deals.

Good work Dutch  :icon_winkle:

E-mailed this guy the other day but need to ring him

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261212385571?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

See if he will do a deal without the ally fairlead & buying more than one.

You never know

Can you see if he can do different lengths and maybe without the extras?

I'm spent out for now but might re-visit this idea later in the year.

Although my guy has missed the bus and we've run out of steam a bit, no probs taking a tally later in the year.

They actually do about 4-5 different colours, tried ringing but only there in the mornings.

I'll get hold of them as soon as i can to discuss options.

They do 10mm x 100 ft for £149, 11mm x 100ft for £167 but both of those are with the ally fairlead which they sell for £36..... so if they knock £25 off for not including that it would seem almost viable.
