You can say that again! If I had half of his skills I'd be stoked... I guess it takes time and practise!

I can't remember what the first bar looked like - did you keep it or scrap it for the metal to use on other projects?

Cheers

You hit the nail on the head. Those are for L series indicators. Dont quiet understand the last bit. If you mean i am Steve's idea man , you are sort of right. I run idea's by the owner and then ask Steve if it is possible to do or not. Then we run it by Ross so as all of us agree . Then it gets done. We all put our 5 cents in , as it is a group thing we have going here.

Clearly some brilliant minds at work there.. love your work.

"Steve's an ideas man" comes from the classic aussie movie 'The Castle' sorry if it caused any confusion.. :cool:

A few more steeps done on the winch bar.

The free wheel dial is on the inside of the bar, so had to make it easy to get to. A quick release was made to solve it.

Image

Image

Another bar has been put on to aid in the strength of the mounting of the bar.

Image

Just a few more pics to show how it looks.
