Winch suggestions.

Overall length of vertical 13"

Have you allowed for the tyre height ? In your calculations?

Estimate it from the rim diameter of 16" ?

No.

Yes and the vertical is approximately 1/2 way up the rim, to the centre cap of the hub bearing, ( that’s why I cropped the image) including the tyre. Or have you used a different method to calculate?

I’m certain @8ob will have 47 pairs in a container somewhere

A good read on this is the landrover winching and recovery manual.

The landrover manual for Africa has a good chapter on it as well.

Used to be able to order from main dealers but probably anywhere online now.

I gave mine to my mate when he got a winch on a mog. Thought it best he at least read something!

Im just commenting here to express interest in the Fairey chocks, I've just finished a Superwinch Husky install and I need a set of chocks, and the Fairey ones are the most serious ones I've seen. Might build a set if there are plans or guidelines available. Even ones that dont fold.... just something that works.

video for anyone interested

I was looking for a husky. I have a h14 I’ve converted to hydraulic at the moment, overkill and terribly slow but won’t stop for man nor beast, was considering ditching it for a husky electric

Edit to add, to be honest I prefer an anchor over chocks, as much as I do like the fairey chocks. A pin and plate style ground anchor tied to the rear will sort most winching problems

Fixed it

The only winch anchors that really work are the drop down anchor/spades. Never fail.
