awsome job on the rebuild, I'm currently rebuilding mine and have a question, how do you test the solenoids? I have the winch all back together, cleaned all electrical conections, but only get 1 solenoid to click.
To test the solenoids I put alligator clips on the larger terminals connected to my multimeter to test continuity. There should be no through-put of current (normally closed). Then put negative 12V (ground) to the mounting bracket of the solenoid and positive 12V to one of the small control terminals (cant remember which one). You should hear a click and get continuity through the large terminals.

Awl_TEQ said:-Tapping cast aluminum can be a challenge, it may crumble rather than bite in - take your time. (I actually put the tap in my cordless drill and went very slowly on the trigger. That may sound reckless but it can work better than turning a tap handle and not keeping the tap perpendicular to the hole - this causes the tap to crumble the aluminum rather than cut threads.)
