Hi. I have a simple question (as I lost the instructions for my petronix kit) :o Where does the red and black wires connect to? I have a 78 model 2F. cheers!!!

8274 rebuild Whilst I was getting sick an tired of waiting for all of my parts to arrive to rebuild this winch, I got the casing powder coated. The pic doesnt really portray its true colour, yet it is a metallic dark grey / pearl. I'm slowly sanding the "cooling fins" where the powder coater...

2F new car And a couple more pics

2F new carb The headers are "Pacemaker" brand Well I busted my left one during my lunch break today, to get the thing finished to start her up. The verdict... :D :D :D Prior, I was running a reco stock carb, fully stock rebuilt motor less than 500k ago, new stock dizzy (points set up)...

Carb keep an eye on aust ebay, looking under a company called dissyparts and more . Every month or so a 2F and 3F carb will be displayed for sale. regarding NARDEK: I bought my dizzy from them, a year ago for something like $120, and have been bloody happy with their product. (Halfway through...

New 2F carb If your after a new 2F carb, I just bought one from ebay (australia) non smog version for around (300 Aust Dollar) I think. The company that originally produced them was NARDEK, & they also manufacture stock dissy's. If anyone would like closer pics, plse let me know. I can only...

Petronix I just received mine in the mail yesterday. Have the exact same issue with the seal thing. Once I unscrewed the condenser / white plastic insulator, this grommet only partially fits in this hole. I'm going to try and simply cut it down a tad....

winch rebuild I love townsville apart from the bloody humidity at the moment. Sunday sesh's at the seaview hotel are great! Especially when its packed with plenty of hurgen flurgens over here on holidays :cool: ) This afternoon I was at the wreckers, pilfering some parts from a 60 for my 40...

Old To New Carb Thanks for the replies / been a great help. So if I want to go from the 'current' set up of old carb / fuel pump as per below

8274 continued Ive also attached a few pics of the motor. Can anyone tell me if this 'looks' a fair condition? As Im going to get the outer housing powder coated, can anyone recommend what type of paint I should use to paint the drum? :beer:

Ladies and Gents, I recently purchased a second hand 8274 for my 40. After reading some of the tech articles here, I decided it'd be a good move to rebuild her, and throw in a lower seal / brake kit ect. (first attempt at rebuilding a winch!) First things first, the clutch release mech...

8274 I had a closer look today, and the alloy "stem" that had sheared, is a casted piece of the lower case..... :mad: From what I can see, all it does is hold a retaining spring in place, so when I take it to the machine shop to "use a hydraulic press" to remove the brake assy, I'll see if...

broken Thanks Chet. Ive yet to take the bottom gears out to see how it is attached. So this actuall part bolts on from the inside of the housing? :cheers:
