Winch Ver 1.0 - Progress report

[hussy]

its a copy of the cockney winch which had its design posted on winchskating.com by the designer of it with all the dimensions for the frame included. he didn't mind it being copied.

i have the images saved on pc as well, as i was going to use them to do a quick first build like you guys have done.

you can always use all your components on a 2nd build with a new frame design of your own later on, once you've had some fun

Finally got it fired up yesterday. Sounds sweet until the line cuaght on the spark plug cap and ragged it off. DOH!!!

Oh well the price you pay for not having the splash guard on there! Easy to fix so we should be okay. Just need to get some wheels now.

Tooks us a while longer than we thought, we were just lazy!!!

now anywhere were there is any water will have you thinking "i reckon i could hit that"

oh and do a search on the bay for trolley wheels i got myself some badass 4" alloys for mine hahaha

6-inch wheels with tyres - go off road!
That frame looks good paul, strong but minimal weight. i like

Well we got the parts Paul managed to break and fitted them today

All went well, we loaded up the van with the winch and set off... only to find no suitable water!! Everywhere we went was either a trek to get down too (no wheels means its a bitch to lug around at the mo) or full of ruddy fishermen!!!

Anyone got any spots they would like to share with us in the north west?

Ta.
