Have a good trip to cloogyville mate, my folks off there net week too, way down south to see old friends, must get out there again one day, been a while

Cleggy,

this might be of interest... We started to strip off the all the body work on my TJ, we are planning on building a custom tubelar body, had a bit of rethink over the last few weeks. Based on lugging the front inner fenders and the poision spyder front flares to my Rodeo, the tub and cage combined weight is a lot more than I anticipated. Looking at the pics of your Jeep, my guess is your TJ tub/cage must weigh roughly the same as mine, possibly alot more than mine so.

Indeed and Willo will confirm this, the Mafia was to heavy to stand a chance, Buggy is the only option and I quickly decided this back-in 2006.

Isle of Man, in my case its the D60s/37s Fedimas that are the killer, for the last 7 years weight was never an issue with D30/D44/35s Simexes.

Some of our friends will splice those on for you. I've take enough flak already

JamesH · « **Reply #86 on:** April 12, 2013, 09:33:15 PM »

Probably best to source separately but maybe a group buy from a lifting equipment supplier?

I have a local one I can enquire with??

willo · « **Reply #87 on:** April 12, 2013, 10:18:51 PM »

I am just interested in a price on 150' 11mm, don't need hook and blah, got them alread, and if I can't splice...well you know the rest

wildwood · « **Reply #88 on:** April 28, 2013, 12:31:44 PM »

Thought I would give this a nudge.......as its nearly May........Breakout soon

any news on dyneema in bulk yet and will it be ready for Breakout.......

?

Dutch · « **Reply #89 on:** April 28, 2013, 04:58:40 PM »

Yeah sorry guys, still baffles me that people simply dont come back after a genuine enquiry.

Will ruffle some feathers tomorro. Either way if this all comes to nothing will let you know.

wildwood · « **Reply #90 on:** April 28, 2013, 05:16:28 PM »

Cheers Dutch......Got feelers out for myself ......but don't want to turn up with an empty drum

willo · « **Reply #91 on:** April 28, 2013, 09:40:48 PM »

I have put the question to the man who supplies Plasma rope to the UK...we shall see what he comes back with

wildwood · « **Reply #92 on:** April 28, 2013, 09:47:01 PM »

thanks ....

thorna · « **Reply #93 on:** April 29, 2013, 05:29:31 PM »

Thanks

willo · « **Reply #94 on:** May 04, 2013, 11:11:55 AM »

Gaz. Do you want 10mm or 11mm and how long?

wildwood · « **Reply #95 on:** May 08, 2013, 12:59:26 PM »

not much more than a week away so pushed the button on some dyneema from off the bay...

95 foot of 12mm .......

Glad I only got 95 foot cos even with the deltatek drum that's a lot thinner, and can therefore take more rope the 95 foot fills the drum

just a heads up cos without the longer drum.....which I don't have there is no way 125' let alone 150' would fit........

If there is a bulk buy later I'll Prob go for 100' with eyelets on each end to use as extension etc.

Apologies Will, only just caught up with this.

Mr Bowyer himself recomends 100ft x 10mm for my EPi 9 set up, so either 10 or 11 and 100 - 125 ft, can always loose any extra that wont fit comfortably on the drum I suppose.

Struggling to find a definate size capacity for the winch

Dutch · « **Reply #97 on:** May 08, 2013, 05:09:28 PM »

Sorry guys, my offer to see if I could find a cheaper bulk option through my contacts in the yachty rigging world was genuine.

I even spoke to the guy yesterday .... oh ... oh ..oh I have been away..... but hasn't my colleague got back to you ......
I'll get you a quote this afternoon.....

Well that was yesterday.....nothing heard.

Well foooook that.

Sorry to keep you hanging on in anticipation but I realize (Wildwood) that time is running out.

Apologies

gazjeep · « **Reply #98 on:** May 08, 2013, 06:08:23 PM »

Not a problem mate.... you gave it a go ...... your in the hands of others ..... customer service can be appalling .... head up clogmeister

willo · « **Reply #99 on:** May 08, 2013, 06:40:21 PM »

here is the quote I got for plasma 12 strand, this is for bare rope as I understand everyone wants to make their own:

11mm @ £1.48 per ft.
9.5mm @ £1.35 per ft.

Price + VAT & carriage at cost.

This is for a group buy of the lengths listed earlier, we are already minus wildwood
