+1

Couldnt agree more, thats how lanes gets closed down!!! In my opinion its a very irresponsible use of the green lanes!!!

If that many vehicles are attending you should run multiple groups going different ways round the planned route or setting off at suitable time intervals keeping radio contact so you dont bunch up into one group.

Your potentially ruining the hobby for everyone else.

Thank you buddy, yeah of you want the winch out of the way but the plate I'm glad I did, and it came with the actual winch when I brought it bud from Winch-it :)

I just fitted one of those panhard brackets to mine, I had to trim down the bush on the panhard, I don't think the design allows for the thickness of the paint. Other than that its a nicely designed and made item.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

Oh did you? I haven't fitted mine yet, isit just a case of un bolting the Panhard rod from the end it fits on or take the hole thing off?

I took the panhard off as it was easier to hold it up to the bracket to get the size right and then put into a vice to grind down. It also gave me an opportunity to grease the bolt which was well on its way to seizing.

Was a easy job to be honest, mine wasn't that bad of a fit just a small tap with a hammer as you do and it slid in :)

there are loads of fairleads on ebay for about £30 and a ratty second hand one with no bids a 99p you could clean up
You can only use these with a synthetic rope and not a wire cable as they are usually made of aluminium
