winch fairlead for synthetic rope (size) (1 Viewer)

[lowtideride]

I am in the middle of fitting a 8274 in my non-winch ARB bar. The fair lead is not here yet and I am very pressed for time. So does anyone know the hole size for a normal sized fairlead for synthetic winch rope? I am talking about the inside size. I am not concered about the mounting holes because I can drill that with the ARB on the truck. It would save me a lot of work to just cut the slot in the front of the ARB now...

if anyone has a minute of time to measure yours or would have the number off the top of there head it would help me out a great deal..

thanks,

Just off the top of my head,, I'd say the opening of the groove in a Hawse Fairlead is 3/4 -7/8

You're going to want to cut the hole in your bumber bigger though....

Wait til someone else chimes in with the exact #

Yo Brah. My other pc (with measurements) is packed up right now. PM beno and ask him to measure the one he has. I'd made it from UHMW for the 80.

My X-Line fairlead measures 21-22mm (this is the ID of the fairlead where the winch line is).

Heck I didn't think there was any 'correct' size so to speak. I just cut and routered out what appeared to be a proper size hole. Oh and I did mine out of the same shizznit as Junk. Dat is some tough stuff to cut, gums up a router in a great big hurry ended up using a drill press with a forster bit.
